They are categorically not. All of the discs in this first AFRS BSO series
(years 1943 through 1948) were from live broadcasts. Zero were from RCA
recordings.

There are no catalog numbers per se. The AFRS discs were generally labeled
with the series name and program number.
These are labeled:
"BOSTON SYMPHONY" Number 38, parts 1 through 4
Matrix numbers:
Part 1: SS-3-4-5
Part 2: SS-3-4-6
Part 3: SS-3-4-7
Part 4: SS-3-4-8
Also etched on the discs is the program name and number, and the timing of
each side.
Often discs in this series have an etched date, but these do not have that.
No contents are listed on the labels.
