One interesting thing to note is that it is entirely possibly that something initially issued with a KC prefix, may never have had a JC or PC equivalent because it failed to sell. Likewise, I would think that a slow seller might move from KC to JC and skipped right over PC -- but that is conjecture on my part

That is perfectly viable. Remember that album sleeves and paper labels were printed in advance of vinyl, and stored until needs arose, so could have been "on the shelf" a while, awaiting vinyl being pressed.
Vinyl was pressed strictly on demand, with normally a quick turnaround.

However, if the price code was out of sync. (sleeve versus paper labels), the rack jobbers would soon kick up a fuss, because they were charged as per the codings, and would always want the cheaper price, naturally (if that ever occurred).
