Heroic Adventure Library - Pearson - 1964

This was a very obscure set that so far I have only seen 8 copies of which I have two. I remember Steve Zodiac saying he picked up a different copy some time ago as well. GCD has images of all 8 here: https://www.comics.org/series/67944/covers/
My query is regarding which comic was the first issue. GCD has Marco Polo as #1 and that seems to be the most popular on the internet, Denis Gifford says the first issue is Daring Dick Turpin and I have seen The Gallant Crusaders advertised as #1 on Ebay. As a collector of first issues, I have now bought two but the only clue I can see is on the inside back page, at the end of the credits, one comic has HP/3/4/64 and the other has HP/1/4/64. Common sense tells me that the 1/4 should be the earlier issue but that's the Gallant Crusaders.
Any thoughts please Folks? Does anyone else have any issues to check the number printed on the last page please?
