Not to doubt you, but can you produce *ANY* pressbook (or image of the page) where both linen and flat sets are offered from a Warner's title of the late 1930s or early 1940s? If you can, that would be the "smoking gun" that would prove they are all likely original release.
I will pay the first person who can show me such a pressbook $25. Until then, it strikes me as "urban legend", likely heard from a "friend" who swears he had such a pressbook.
