Please note that the distinction between A- and B-sides is fictional - the actual records bear no side identifications. Further explanations:

M = Musik, music or composer
T = Text , lyrics or lyricist
NE followed by month/ and year = Neuerscheinung, date of first release
K = Katalog, catalog in which the item was listed

MATRIX NUMBERS
40cm diameter discs: without prefix
30cm diameter discs: without prefix
25cm diameter discs: prefix „0”
20cm diameter discs: prefix „00”

TAKE NUMBERS
So far, no alternate takes have been detected. Almost all matrix numbers have the suffix "m" followed by a number from 1 to 4. The meaning of these suffixes could not be clarified so far. Since issues with different numbers (m1, m2, etc.) appear to be aurally identical, they are not takes but presumably chronologically successive transfers from the film (the original recording medium) to press shells for discs.On 40cm diameter film sound-track discs, a suffix digit defines the sequence of discs, e.g., TE.40-7 would be disc number 7 of soundtrack number 40..

FOREIGN SERIES
Tri-Ergon recorded three times in Stockholm. The results were issued on flexible "Star" records (sold in cooperative stores). The matrix numbers are perfectly consecutive for each visit. Only a few instrumentals (by the Eichwald orchestra) were issued on Tri-Ergon in Germany.
After Tri-Ergon operations terminated in Germany, a French 6500 series continued for a brief period of time. All other foreign recordings are incorporated in the main 5000-6299 series.
The flexible Bellaphon and Colorit discs were mainly marketed in Austria, but - apart from a few masters obtained from the US - used exclusively Tri-Ergon regular masters, no original recordings.
A handful of original Tri-Ergon masters have never been issued by Tri-Ergon, but on Christschall and Sonora. These are listed separately.
