Incidentally, all the material on their new CD is by what is now the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, then Stockholms Konsertförenings orkester. At the time, it was part-funded by Swedish Radio (Radiotjänst="the Radio Service"), the national broadcasting monopoly. For studio broadcasts the name Radiotjänsts symfoniorkester was used.
I just published an extensive article on Tor Mann in Liner Notes (Spring 2023; https://liner-notes-magazine.com/). He was chief conductor of the orchestra's radio activities, so I tried to explain the orchestra's double identity at the time. However, in the orchestra's searchable historic archive https://www.konserthuset.se/en/about-us/historic-archive/
all performances on the new CD are described as by the "Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra", so I believe they were broadcasts of ordinary concerts rather than radio productions. The exception is the Erling which was some sort of prerecorded theatre incidental music, played by a smaller group from the orchestra in a Stockholm church. It was previously issued in a box also reviewed by mr Wolff: http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2016/Feb/Marteau_pupils_CAP21620.htm.
