I've had quite a few, in fact I have a zoot money on 45cat, this has homemade artwork on the label either by a fan or somebody but it is typically sixties & old so must have escaped the factory.
I am going to guess apart from some scenes I saw on video** the process was:
that the test pressings were printed then moved to another persons office to play through to check for tracking faults. If they were ok then went to management to approve. Thereafter given away or thrown away.?

**cant remember...

(I should add I have had pre 50's 78rpm test pressings as well)
