Agreed, the CBS/Epic labels and such merely used a pressing plant in Austria, in fact it was there own DADC (Digital Audio Disc Corp.), hence DADC Austria in the CD matrix center ring.

Back to Rights Society MCPS/BIEM = UK, GEMA = Germany, STEMRA = Holland, SACEM, SGDL, SRDM = France. and so on.

The Rights Society has indeed much to do with distribution area, however it should not be considered as the last truth, but only as a piece of the puzzle, a hint. While it is probably safe to say an "MCPS" release is from UK, the "MCPS/BIEM" is not safe at all. A "MCPS/BIEM" release can be continental European release (excluding the UK!). I have a lot of releases like that.
GEMA = Germany, STEMRA = Holland, SACEM, SGDL, SRDM = France - this is generally true, but not always. I have an exclusion from this rule, a STEMRA release distributed exclusively in France.
