This is just a theory
To start with this is what I actually know.   The Peel Acres session 
degenerated into an all-night drinking
session involving Peel, WS and the production crew.   As a result of 
this the producer forgot to make
the copy of the show the BBC required her to do.    Later thanks to 
Ken and this group a
recording was supplied to the BBC
My theory is that the session entry was just a holding entry that 
never got removed when
they eventually got the details of the actual Peel Acres performance
