These early UK London releases seem to be very hard to come by, and the artists somewhat obscure. Presumably they did not sell in large numbers at the time, and you do wonder who Decca (owner of the London label) thought the target market in the UK was going to be.

A couple are on the Internet archive if you look hard enough:

It's No Secret - Ray Smith
https://archive.org/details/78_its-no-secret_hamblen-hank-dalton-with-instrumental-accompaniment_gbia0000694a
This was released under the pseudonym "Hank Dalton" in the US (see the info here)

Don't Fence Me In - Lee Monti
https://archive.org/details/78_dont-fence-me-in_lee-montis-tutones-cole-porter-harms_gbia0061657a
Released initially on the local Chicago label "Sharp", from which London took a number of their early releases. Presumably this is supposed to be a comedy recording (at least I sincerely hope so!)

And the US 45 issue of Eve Young's "I Still Feel The Same About You" is currently for sale here:
https://recordsale.de/en/artists/eve/albums/i-still-feel-the-same-about-you-sentimental-music
From Germany though, so might be a bit expensive on the shipping front.

A couple of other points that might help:
The title on L-774 is "Squeezle Me" not "Squeezie Me"
I think L-960 was credited to "Vinni de Campo" not "Vinnie de Campo"
L-773 was credited to "Teddy Phillips" not "Ted Phillips"
Eve Young changed her name to Karen Chandler at some point in the early 50s

Did you ever manage to source the final 3 recordings for your 1940-52 Missing Charts collection?

Mike, you might want to check the list L800 you have twice but different artists
there is at least one other duplicate
try adding an extra line between them to make more readble
Teddy Philips not Ted
The Helen Graco ones very wanted on Discogs

I have checked but not much on Discogs. here we would include the Made In England discs as UK releases as well as including as Canada but discogs tries to keep releases to one country , so some of the :L prefix disc are probably Canada releases , but not found any want there
