The Cylinder Preservation and digitazation project, has the earlier ones listed as blue amberols and the later ones as Royal Purple. You can also hear them here as well, including 29050, the one that Steve just mentioned, which was originally in Blue Amberol, and I assume later production was converted to Royal Purple, as that is how it is listed here.
