I think the backing of all the Marvin, Welch & Farrar performances on Cliff's TV show was pre-recorded and are possibly the backing tracks of the original studio recordings. The vocal performances could be pre-recorded too, I'm not entirely sure, but they do differ from the vocals on the original studio recordings. Their BBC Radio recordings (nine tracks in total) are certainly overall different recordings (apart from "Marmaduke", which is just the original single version in mono with Brian Matthew's announcement) and six of them are more than fifty years old now, so out of copyright.
