The complete session for the Coldstream Guards Band on 11th December 1903 in Kelly's matrix listings are as follows:

7" matrices

5751a 398 The Mikado: Selection 1 (Sullivan)
5752a 2-316 do: Finale
5753a 40004 The Pirates of Penzance: The Pirates’ song (Sullivan)
5754a 399 do: The Policemen’s song
5755a destr do: Poor wand’ring one

10" matrices

4672b destr The Walkyrie: Ride of the Valkyries (Wagner)
4673b 2-23 Belphagor, Tarantelle

4679b 2-16 ’A Frangesa, March (Costa)
4680b The Pirates of Penzance: When the foeman bares his steel

I note that a Pirates of Penzance selection is listed with the preceding matrix num,ber, 4678b and a nearby issue number. It's possible that the issues were wrongly entered in the HMV ledgers, or Kelly miscopied.
