The dead wax shows "OJC" followed by a 5-6 digit number. If it were a Scorpio, would the "S" also be followed by a number? Or just the letter "S"? This LP is nominally on "Riverside". The other two are "Blue Note".
Follow Ups:
The "S" would be followed by a dash and a number. On the Freddie Redd album I mentioned, Side 1 is S-56242 and Side 2 is S-56243. There are other numbers and symbols, but the "S" stuff is on all the ones I have.Problem is once these things are sold, it would be very easy to re-sell them as "originals" to someone who doesn't know from Scorpio.

I did some Googling on Scorpio Records. The worst I could find, in terms of a comment on the sound quality, was "spotty". The name seems associated with the Record Exchange in Princeton, NJ. So far as I know, that business is reputable. There was a poorly substantiated story also that organized crime in NJ and NYC had tried to buy in to the record business via MCA and maybe they used Scorpio as the name of their business interests and maybe this was also somehow tied in with the Record Exchange. But it's more rumor than fact, probably enough evidence for Roger Goodell to indict them, however.
