 Par R-2185 - added are 3 minor & 1 major variant. Type #2 is blue with short legend; later variant #2b-A has NCB logo added. Type #3 is blue with long legend; later variant #3b has on both sides publishers different from #3a (images already present, with Leeds logo on #3a-A). Type 4 has the later cat.nr R.2185 (with dot); only A is available. Publishers on #4-A are the same as on #3b-A, though in different order.
Images should be rearranged.

 Par R-2185 - Added are labels of the first 2 editions, on the Parlophone gold label. #1a is the original label, with "nor" in the bottom legend; in #1b the "n" is removed, resulting in a space, followed by "or". In the 1st edition, there is no comma after the word "Series".
The added B #1a is more clear than the image that is already present.

 Par R-2185 - Trombonist is John Thomas (see Rust). Kid Ory was at the time with King Oliver in New York.

 @Gamla Grammofoner: Your images (3320055 and 3320056) seem to bear a T tax stamp on the left side of the spindle hole. So they represent a repress from between October 21, 1940 – April 14, 1942, when this tax code was in force.

sheepdip1234's copy (images 671732 and 671733) with the 45rpm runout grooves bears a DTP tax stamp, which makes them a December 30, 1950 - April 15, 1953 repress. The labels also show a longer copyright text in the label margins.

UK purchase tax codes are dated at http://www.78rpm.net.nz/mechcopy/mech7.htm

The series numbers show that "Potato Head Blues" is the A side; I've switched the tracks accordingly.

 Another one of those 78s that has the run-out groove in the style of a 45 rather than the usual 78.

 Both sides recorded on 10 May 1927 in Chicago.

The correct title of the A side is Alligator Crawl, written by Fats Waller, Andy Razaf and Joe Davis.
