This is probably more of a "this is how we've always done it traditionally in the past" more than a right/wrong question.
On the 'solos' (R Mark Rogers Edition), my version is marked "Starred (soli)" as opposed to a true solo. Seems like in past editions it was marked as a solo. Conductor couldn't care less what we do...have both of us play it or treated it as a solo. My fellow 1st colleague is amazing and we're splitting the solis between us currently and treating them as the (theorized original) intended solos.
My question...what's y'alls speculation on Grainger's original intent? How have you all played or heard it in the past?

It was originally intended to be played by strings--so maybe you shouldn't fret too much about what Grainger wanted (or maybe check out the string version). A better question, perhaps, would be whether solo or soli better suits the music and your (and the conductor's) interpretation of it.

The version my school has and the one on IMSLP both are marked soli and also have the famous "solo" doubled in the alto clarinet part (assuming any school still has an alto clarinet or alto clarinet player). Despite this I have never seen it played as anything other than a solo in a wind band/wind ensemble.
