Those methods look familiar from seeing a peal board on a visit
last week to Wigston Magna.
Is this the performance of the peal?
http://cccbr.org.uk/felstead/tbid.php?tid=5501&bad=y
2 2D4-110 FALSE 12 May 1937 Spliced Surprise Major (7 methods) 
RW 1365.0329 - False (R R Horton) 

There's also this:
42 2D4-01E OK 11 May 1957 Spliced Surprise Major (7 methods) 

but I can't remember the details about the date on the peal board.
