My guess is a bit different: Gutenberghus produced these stories and gave
them D-codes (as usual). Then Disney USA wanted to distribute these stories.
They translated them to English (for all the foreign editors), and maybe
that's why they got new S-codes.
Obviously, Gutenberghus used the original Danish versions (with D-codes),
while other countries translated from English and used the S-codes.

Similar thing happened with some Brazilian stories.

The above is just a theory, but while I'm writing it, it's getting more and
more plausible to me. 8-)

I think we should use the original D-codes only. I'll make sure that the
S-codes do not really exist. Therefore, the xref field cannot be used (you
cannot refer to something non-existing), so a comment will do.
