I think this was just something that Adam found from discogs, not an
ongoing thread.

Pressing plants would not do such a small run (3-20), but usually at
least 100 is the minimum. Of course, first doing 5-6 test pressing and
then discarding the actual pressing is possible.

But, what the guy says at discogs about ME test pressings having
different cat number is bullshit (at least what I have understood). Test
pressing is testing the final plates and vinyl quality, so test
pressings and final run should always have same cat number. There are
some cases where cat number or parts of it have been scratched off, as
you can see in quite many KLF records but that's usually because of
misspelling or mistake. But not like ETERNA1 -> KLF011T.


But I also found some old discussions supporting 011 cat:

Can anyone confirm this?

There are also other curious thing at discogs:

Backwards? Matrix / Runout: 1A 1 ANRETE? Is it like mirrored pressing plate?
