"SPAR" etching and the "-SP#" at the end of the matrix number (# being a number) indicates that the B Side was sourced from metal parts (metal mother disc) created at Specialty Records Corporation for use at Allied Record Company.

"△ 2193-X" indicates that the Stamper metal part used to press the B Side were made at Sheffield Lab Matrix, while the "-SP#" (# being a number) and the lack of an "SLM" etching on an Allied Record Company pressing indicates that the Stampers used to press the record were created from metal parts (metal matrix discs and/or metal mother discs) that came from Specialty Records Copropration.
