There is no Köchel number for the imaginary choral version, as such a 
version never existed.

"Ascanio in Alba" is K111. The instrumental finale that Mozart wrote 
in order to create an instrumental symphony from the first 2 
movements of the overture was given the number K120 in K1 and the 
symphony as a whole is given the number K111a in K6. The New Köchel 
is planning to return to the K1 numbers, but I don't know if that 
means they'll call the whole symphony K120 or not.

The opera was composed for the fall season of 1771, and the symphony 
version is obviously being dated to the same period (given the K 
numbers).
