I have Pathé disks with etched labels in 6 sizes, going from 5.5” (just one in this size which,I think, was for the Pathé Jeunesse) through 20” . Could you indicate what I'm missing?
Thanks,

If you count the non etched later releases, there is at least one slightly smaller than 50 cm, maybe 45 or so, with white paper label. I have two or three of these but never measured their diameter, will look for them and find out.
I have one approx. 50cm (definitely not 45cm) with a black paper label.

Yes, you are correct, I also have 50 cm discs with both etched and black paper labels. The smaller one I referred above of 40-some cm diameter is certainly from a later period, maybe early or mid 20s, with the white label. I'll try to find it and post a photo.

Here are photos of two of the largest Pathé discs, one 50 cm with paper label, center start, and the other is 41 cm (as measured) diameter, white paper label, edge start.
