I don't know what disc the sonatas come from: they could be from the
BMG/Melodiya release, as they're on a CD that was copied for me by my
English ex-boyfriend. But as I remember it they were a compilation
of the sonatas from different sources (I can't remember the sources,
so that won't do much good). My review of the disc is at
http://www.eccentrix.com/music/prokofiev/reviews/35.html , and it
contains more information about the time of the recordings if that's
at all helpful.

Yes, I did have a source for the dozens of Europe-only Prokofiev
releases, but, unfortunately, as I said, he is now an ex-boyfriend.
Not through my own desire, though: I wouldn't ever give something
like that up!

And you aren't alone. . .
