In this case, the other 7-digit number looks like a Polydor catalogue number
and it probably refers to an English or other country release. I found this a
lot in the later LP days..in fact in the 50s and 60s as well. I'm looking at a
Philips LP which prominently displays G 03591 L and GBL 5613 on cover, spine
and label. When I was asked to look for this record, the number quoted was ABL
1342. (But no cross reference to the American issue, ML 5100..!) (Beethoven
Concerto #5, Casadesus.)
