Molly on the Shore, Famous Solo question...

Author: ClarinetRobt

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?
