As you've mentioned Australia that also has problems. From 1907 to about 1925, UK HMVs were imported into Australia by a large shipping and distribution company. But now these are all being added to UK Listings, which isn't exactly in the spirit of the 'country of sale' guideline (we don't have rules!). The first Australian HMV catalogue was issued in 1927, HMV Australia only being started a year or two before, and I've been told that it only lists UK series records, no domestic EA etc series. These UK series numbers continued to be listed in later Australian catalogues, but now the records themselves had 'Made In Australia' markings. Its an easy 'get-out' to allocate all these earlier records as being part of collections now in Australia, so not ever being sold there, when evidence indicates that many of them could probably have been imported.
