Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

"fc31a" is most likely actually not a Kiessling track, but a Siegfred Merath track. I have a copy of one of his tracks ("Centipede") downloaded from a YT channel, and the sound is pretty much identical to the way this one sounds, in particular the xylophone. I won't rule out the possibility it might be a German radio recording of a track performed by his orchestra and composed by Kiessling, though.

An actual find this time: "fc02a" is actually a composite of multiple tracks composed by Winston Sharples for the Van Beuren Rainbow Parade and Toddle Tales cartoons of the 1930s ("Toonerville Trolley", "Parrotville Old Folks", "Rag Dog", and "Grandfathers' Clock", in that order). This specific track, with these cuts in the exact same order, is part of a longer "medley" of these score excerpts used by the bootleg TV distributor Astra T.V. as musical background in their "Whimseyland" package of various public domain/not PD cartoons in their early 50s. You can hear a good chunk of the full medley here:

Excellent find, apmnut.

FC21b is, I think, part of the 'Today I Hear The Robin Sing' recording by Bill McGuffie
FZB1 is 'Today People' by Johnny Hawksworth from de Wolfe
FZ1e is 'Ferocity Fanfare' by Reg Tilsley from de Wolfe
PNh is an adaptation of Charpentier's 'Te Deum', the Eurovision theme - I believe this was specially recorded for Euroshow 71, possibly by Horst Jankowski and/or the resident musicians at Sudwestfunk
-
PNa and PNe are "Royal Gold" (DWS/LP 3439) and "Great Occasion" (DWS/LP 3454) respectively, both by Nigel Hess and probably taken from DWCD 0170.

"ATTLCa" is a composition called "Wings of Victory" by Frank Ventre from the Sam Fox library, and later reissued on Carlin's Archive Series as "Out of Town March" - albeit it's an older recording than the version released on SF 1002.
Also, the arrangement of "La Marseillaise" the Pythons used is an arrangement done by Roger Roger for the Major Records library, originally released on album 5229 in their library.

"fc13a" is a sped-up excerpt from "Harp Glissando No. 2" by Frank Rothman (DW 2756).
-
"HGRa" is "Trigger Happy" by Keith Papworth (DW/LP 3022)
-
I've received physical copies of Marble Arch MALS 1141 (National Anthems) and Cinemusic CMR 311 (Light Scenic & Pastoral/Heavy Scenic).
"fc17c" is Capt. P. W. Parkes' arrangement of "The Star-Spangled Banner", performed by the Band of the Corps of Royal Engineers conducted by Parkes.
"fc21a" is "Spring Thaw" by Jack Shaindlin. The cue identified as "Assisi Byways" is not actually this track, nor any other on CMR 311; I have added it to the unidentified list as "fc21c" https://drive.google.com/file/d/1flbgFm71exArPPfnNUv-X3qYxKhBgSHY/view?usp=sharing (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1flbgFm71exArPPfnNUv-X3qYxKhBgSHY/view?usp=sharing)

"HHa" is "Gently Flow" by Johnny Scott (KPM 1093).
-
"PNf" is "Cavendish Fanfares No. 17" by Tony Kinsey (CAV-CD 15).
-
"PNg" is "Sound on Top" by Terry Devine-King (Hudson HRCB 4)
-
"FZ2b" is "Hoe Down, Moe Down" John Cacavas (Chappell CIS 5055) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaghAWVTf5U&t=60s). However, the album is from 1975 and the episode from 1972. I can find no earlier release of this track, so perhaps it was retitled. If you are aware of an earlier release, please let me know.
-
It's likely to be a track originally released by the Sonaura library in the US - I think all the CIS tracks by American composers that weren't previously released by Chappell came from there
-
Thank you. It is from Sonaura S6024 as "Hoe Down, Mow Down" (year unknown).
