Everybody knows that the record companies cannot be trusted completely with respect to the information printed on the record. For example., for the famous song 'aayegaa 3 aane waalaa' sung by Lata, the record label says Kamini, the role played by Madhubala. One might think that for non-film records, they would be truthful. Not so, as V A K Ranga Rao declares:

He wrote this in a letter to the Editor of The Record News,  a publication (1991-2010) of the Society of Indian Record Collectors. This magazine is full of very valuable and interesting info about Indian records from the very beginning. The whole set can be read on my website.

Now you know!

In the musical piece from President (1937), I am hearing some king of guitar, perhaps Hawaiian guitar.
