Dear Mic,
Here is my own answer to my own question.
I had forgotten to check the information contained in Dooji's wonderful 'Ellington 78 rpm Labels' site at
    http://ellingtonweb.ca/Hostedpages/DoojiCollection/DoojiCollection-1935-36.html

Along with a photograph of the original Brunswick 7667 label is one of the Variety version 'grabbed' from the film short, and the following notes:

Oh Babe! Maybe Someday

This image is from the film Paramount Pictorial No. 889. It is almost identical to the image on page 147 of Dr. Stratemann's Duke Ellington: Day by Day and Film by Film. My source advises that this Variety record was never released, and the label is a mockup made up only for the film.

Kind regards,
Bill.
