From the lettering this looks like a US pressing using the design of Aprelevsky Zavod. Both sides sound like they are bad copies of an original pressing and though the side number 13913 is the same it is in a different handwriting in the mirror.

Thanks, Adrian, you are right! The question is which company made them? ARGEE used similar dark magenta color on their labels. It also specialized on copies of original pressings, but we need better proof. Maybe handwriting will help to identify the company.

Some investigation.

Fact: Argee 1018 (both sides) was pressed using the same matrices, but later: there are extra symbols on the mirror. Also "USSR" 7 = Argee 1020 and "USSR" 8 = Argee 1021.

Hypothesis: Maybe these "USSR" belong to Russian Music Co., a company being mentioned during 1944-1950 under the same address (121 Lexington Ave, NY, NY) later used by Argee. Yet earlier Seva Records Co. also had used the same address.
