Hello Paul, 

I am pretty sure Gene Autry Entertainment would have the most complete set. You can find their contact information on their website, http://www.geneautry.com/gae/.

Also pease feel free to contact me directly if you are interested in knowing the holdings at the Autry Museum.

Best,

It would be hard to say, unless you're in touch with all the collections.
You can find these by using the search string "Gene Autry recording
