right - I've just refreshed my memory by spinning through the SWV release , so yes, Kleptomaniac and Halloween are indeed different episodes , I have Kleptomaniac on the SWV rlease and Halloween on 16mm, the BFI will hold a copy of Halloween from my print so might not mean they hold that on 35mm, unless you've see it detailed as such.
The Halloween episode ends with the girl identified by the Q stealing a coat , which is why I mis-remembered it as being Kleptomaniac

from the last ITV drama guide, when only the 9 episodes were known to survive, no idea why I'd said 8 before, 2 episodes from the purported batch of 28 remained unidentified. the transmission dates were given for first Midlands showing, moving the data to lost tv site I guess they've changed them all to earliest ITV screening dates known, with "The Comet" It looks like they just haven't found an earlier broadcast yet.
Mrs. Gilson's murderer listed by 78 rpm Is in fact "Two Faced Murder" , the transmission date they give of 05.11.55 coincides with Kaleidoscopes date for TFM on ATV London and the monologue at the start references the murder of Mrs. Gilson
the lack of on-screen titles is behind the youtube confusion where someone else confused the episode with Identical twins one as well; in the same way I did earlier re: Kleptomaniac/halloween - in that the two titles could both apply
the plot concerns a murderess forcing a plastic surgeon to alter her face , he does so - but then reveals he's altered it to match another wanted murderess , I think the identification as Two Faced Murder is fairly sound
the UCLA print, which was spotted a few years back, is likely to be multiple episodes with a 1200 ft running length. ( plus that's how the two lots of episodes that have come from the USA are presented )

Lostshows also has Unknown Warrior* and Writing in the Sky* (both held at BFI.Dates given as -/-/1956)
There's no place for The Comet or the Talisman yet (Lostshows has no first t/x dates for these.Both are Missing).I've used Lostshows and IMDB for this.I still can't find Halloween or Hallowe'en on Lostshows. Titles with an * are held at the BFI.
Corrections welcome.
