SA sleeve with SR record. Possibly the sleeve had a sticker saying "Record pressed in South Rhodesia" or something similar.

Disc is Southern Rhodesia, sleeve is the correct for the disc (imported from SA with SR sticker).

It is machine stamped in the runout on the disc, as are all the S. Rhodesia pressings (LP, EP and single).

If you click to enlarge the rear sleeve, you can clearly see where the sticker had been. There is a distinct area of sticker residue along the lower flipback, which was one of the typical spots to place these stickers.

Also, I suspect that once the label and sleeve statements changed from "pressed in S.A. . . ." to "pressed for or by a registered user" there was less perceived need to include the S. Rhodesia sticker on the sleeve. Based on my admittedly limited experience, it is more common to see later S. Rhodesian discs in sleeves lacking the sticker.

Of course, I am sure there are numerous swap jobs too. This is not one of them.
