No, there is just the one symbol, '8AI', that all the investment
accounts use.   The names I quoted from the Prices Editor, are all in
the one Stock Name column.

I was sort of expecting that name to correspond to the name that appears
in both the Securities tab and the Equities tab, so I don't quite
understand from where the Prices Editor can be picking them up.  The
names now are the ones provided by specifying the single common symbol
when creating the accounts.

If there's not some subtle difference in how the Prices Editor extracts
the stock name, compared to how the tabs both do it, presumably from the
same table, then I'm a bit stumped.

Either way, though, it looks like there are still some loose ends
lurking in my file.
