Imperial Orchestra - Martha Overture, Part 1 / Martha Overture, Part 2
The 52a and 52b numbers are actually the catalogue numbers for the SCALA label. It would appear that the Scala record company was the source for the Arrow masters at this time. Scala records only show their own catalogue numbers in the record and suppress the original Beka master numbers.
The Beka master numbers should be 41102 & 41103, but to be absolutely 100% certain, one would have to have both the Arrow and the Beka original to compare them!

It certainly does look like it could be a paste-over, but the Arrow record label did change to yellow later (instead of red). A-28 would originally have been on a red label. Although, if it is a red labelled Arrow underneath, I don't know why they would go to the trouble of pasting over as new yellow label!
