This 78rpm is one of the rarer ones as it didn't sell very many. It charted for one single week and that was only just in the then Top 30 at number 27.
The indented RT tax code is also odd. It seems to have been done by hand. I wonder if they pressed a few blank 78's as sales were slow in case they had to sell a few after the tax code changed. So it maybe that there are none of these with an indented tax code on the B side. I've never seen one - yet, but this 78 in general doesn't appear that often in any guise.
