1st edition of Mercury SR LPs had FR stampers up to, as I recall, about catalog number SR 90256 or possibly SR 90260. Catalog numbers after SR 90256/90260 used RFR stampers for 1st edition pressings. There were a few exceptions where RFR stampers were used for 1st editions prior to SR 90256/90260. For example, as I recall the 1st edition of the famous SR 90212 LP used a RFR stamper.
At a later date albums that initially were pressed with RFR stampers were reissued (say 2nd or 3rd pressing editions) where the matrix indicated RFR stampers and included the word Vendor on the record label. Generalizing those issues sonically were inferior to their respective and earlier pressed LPs that used RFR stampers and did not indicate Vendor.
CTFR's, CTBRs, and M stampers, etc. came later.
There's a ton of information about these topics on the internet and on various audio bulletin boards. Do some exploring and you'll uncover plenty of good details.
