Yes, as Uwe says, the mono and stereo are the same recording.
When these discs came out in 1965 few people had stereo players, at least in the UK where these records originate. Therefore record companies would commonly issue the same recording in a mono and a stereo version. My memory of the time is that the stereo versions often came out a few weeks after the mono disc and cost a few more shillings (we were still with a pre-decimal currency then).
This situation continued until the end of the decade when most releases started to appear as stereo only. I suppose the Beatles "Abbey Road" was the watershed in 1969 as the first of their albums that was conceived as a stereo recording from the beginning and which has no mono equivalent.
