Because of the fact the they appear as both F.xxxxx and FJ.xxxxx catalogue numbers for the same release, in line with the regular Decca stuff, I'd think it should be all together to get a unified view of Decca.

Decca Jazz labels [uk] are clearly a different design to contempory Decca singles. Usually light blue although some 45's have a dark blue label, {78s might match?}
I have a few but am very behind on putting up scans & stuff at the moment. Personally I would prefer to see them as a subset of Decca.

Overall, in general, I'd love to see a label series sub-field. That way all the stuff like Decca and Decca Jazz that shared catalog numbers, and the various series in RCA Victor like International Series and Bluebird Series etc would be in series with the rest of the label and year, but easily segregated.
Then we can do as with the Columbia Swing Series.
Have the Decca Jazz label or series, but don't forget to put the jazz releases in the ordinary Decca label as well.
