Mingus Antibes question

Hey, does anybody know whether the tracks on the Japanese BYG LP

Charles Mingus Live with Eric Dolphy (BYG YX-7009) rec. Antibes, 7/13/60

also appeared on the Mingus at Antibes 2LP set? I found a copy of the BYG whilst digging this weekend and put it on hold because I have the Atlantic two-fer (albeit, in storage). Haven't spun that in years & it seemed to me like the track titles were different. I mean, worst thing that could happen would be dumping $15 down the drain, but I'm curious and there must be some Mingus-philes here. The Mingus discography online was unclear (to me).

Thanks!

I've long enjoyed the Atlantic but have wondered about the other versions. Are some of the performances edited in the Atlantic editions? Seems to me I hear some splices (like at the beginning of Curson's solo on April, and a couple of other spots, but I'm not at home to check the disc right now). Do the other versions perhaps have a few more bars?
