Yes, and this Hollywood pressing also has "dog 3" labels (three lines of type around the bottom of the label), whereas the later Camden pressing has "dog 2" labels (two lines).
See here (unfortunately the label images on that page have disappeared): ... in the U.S.A. the staff label was used until November 1938 (highest number in the popular series is B-7875), the "dog 3" label until circa January 1943 (highest number B-11587) and the "dog 2" label until circa January 1945 (highest number 30-0831).
Moved your Hollywood repress up a bit, Bob, because it's from 1941-1943 (patent nr. 1637544 is missing). This is getting to be quite a collection of different Bluebird label styles, thanks to the popularity of this record.
Thanks, Bob1951, for adding what is in fact the earliest pair of labels for this record. This is how the record must have looked like when it came out in August 1938 when the "staff" label was still in use for all Bluebird records. That would change in early November of that year when the general series jumped from B-7875 to B-10000 and all new records in the series had the "dog" label, with an Artie Shaw record as the second of these, on B-10001.
So it seems that the "dog 3" labels (because it had three lines of type around the bottom of the label) without the Victor needles inscription (images 1595314 and 1595316) were issued not before November 1938, still using the Art Shaw credit although the name change essentially came at the same time as the label change.
Note that the staff label was still used for most of 1939 within the Country, Race, and Rhythm and Blues series that started with B-7876 in November 1938. The last Bluebird staff label that I know is B-8246, released on September 15, 1939.
