Questions About Some S2 Episodes

Does anyone here really have any proof, besides Jeffrey Gray (TServo2049), that such episodes aired after the January 1, 1968 cutoff regarding the transition from Desilu to Paramount Television still say "A Desilu Production in association with Norway Corporation" on these following two episodes, when they originally aired on NBC?

2x16: The Gamesters of Triskelion (1/5/1968) (046)
Filming date: 10/17/1967-10/24/1967

2x19: A Private Little War (2/2/1968) (045)
Filming date: 9/29/1967-10/6/1967

Episode numbers given are NBC air dates.

The reason I ask is because I am starting to doubt Gray's version of events regarding these two episodes. The remastered prints (since 1984) of these two episodes both say "A Paramount Production in association with Norway Corporation" simply because they both aired after the 1/1/1968 transition cutoff, but according to him the only Desilu-era episode to actually get out with the revised in-credit notice after 1/1/1968 was the episode "Bread and Circuses" (043) and that was due to how late it made it to air (3/15/1968). I wonder if Paramount somehow made an error here on the 1984 and/or later remasters of the two episodes in question?

Thank you,



Ben (ClassicTVMan81)

The credit memos for both episodes in the UCLA collections indicate the card read, "A Desilu Production in Association With Norway Corporation." It's possible these were revised before broadcast, but unlikely, since the credit memos in the Justman papers (where these credits were sourced) seem to always reflect the original broadcast versions.
