 Concerning Image #717491, I can probably date this a little closer. The record that I have has been graved upon the label with 15/2/1947. I speculate that it was done either by the manufacture or retailer, or maybe even a professional body, as it looks too neatly scribed to be done by a casual purchaser.

I have a photo of it should anyone be interested… if I knew where to upload it on this thread.

Cheers,
Dave

 Have rearranged scans as if you look carefully 629335 is also a ST code, I'm now reasonably confident this is the correct date order. Many thanks to xiphophilos.

 Thanks! I hope this entry can become a little label guide for HMVs from 1939 on, beyond what Howard Friedman provides here.

That said, I noticed tax codes on 3 of the sides that may require some changes to the order:

Image #1253162: ST tax code (Single Tax = 33%), applied between April 10, 1946 - November 12, 1947. So this can't be the original 1939 release.

Image #431217: TT tax code (Triple Tax 100%), applied between April 14, 1943 - April 9, 1946.

Image #717491: This is a variant of #1253162 (with "Made in England" above the cat. nr. and a different logo for the Darewski publishing company), but also bears the ST tax code (Single Tax = 33%), applied between April 10, 1946 - November 12, 1947.

 Think this might be the right order on the basis of the design of the music publishers logos. Unless anyone else knows different.

 Can these label variants be dated and brought into some kind of chronological order?
