I have an example in my label collection as well. It is 3441 SOUSA'S BAND 
Polka "Rose Buds"

It doesn't appear in ARLIE, as it is a variation that was not used in the 
US, to my knowledge.

Font style for the entire label differs from US issues; furthermore, the 
3441 in the runout area is written in a European hand (the 1 appears as an 
acute angle pointing up).

This is the only example (to my recollection) that I have seen.
