The Hollyridge Strings Capitol Contract Pressing?

I have a copy of the first Hollyridge Strings LP, The Beatles Song Book, Capitol ST-2116.
There is no Capitol pressing plant symbol to be found in the run-off.
There is no pressing plant number to be found on the back cover.
There is a wide pressing ring on the labels.
The matrix number for Side 1 is ST-1-2116 W7-TH.
Side 2 ST-2-2116 W7 TH.
Could this be a contract pressing?

Pressed by Columbia at Terre Haute.

Frank, when were the Rainbow labels manufactured on this one?

If the labels are flat (matte), the contract pressing is c. 1966.
If the labels are slick, they're later -- c. 1969.

They look to be matte.
Just out of curiosity, if they had been the 1969 variation would they have had the "subsidiary" print?

Capitol never gave Columbia any of their "subsidiary" labels.
