Comment by han enderman:

Par R-2833 - 2 label variants of Margie added, #3a & 4. Type #4 is a late pressing, with prefix R followed by dot; apparently rare as only this A-side image has been found. Main type #3 exists with 2 A-side versions: #3a with 2 publ. logos as on #2 (rare), and #3b with 3 publ. logos, as subsequently on #4.

'Louisiana' was previously released on Parlo R-298 in April 1929, with flipside Frankie Trumbauer's New Rhythm Orchestra - 'Sentimental Baby' (Okeh 41128).

Par R-2832 - The last golden Parlophone is the next record, R-2833 with Bix's Margie, released 1 Feb 1942. There are several (I think 3) golden label types. Par R-1194 is Second New Rhythm Style Series No.1 Garland Wilson / No.2 Armstrong, Weather Bird.

The Parlophone name lost the golden background around February/March 1942.

We do have a little label guide under https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/label/parlophone

It says:
In May 1932, the Second New Rhythm Style Series introduced a new label design with the Parlophone name on a golden background. This design was also used on the later Super Rhythm Style Series and on the Jazz Classics Series until February 1942. Then the golden background was replaced with a blue one. From mid-1947, the R-prefix was followed by a period. From Jan. 1949, the label is surrounded by a longer patent text that takes up 2/3 of the margin.

This filled gold print label variation ended sometime in 1942, not sure which was the last number but does looks more attractive.
