While not providing a clear answer to your question, the following site might help: http://capionlarsen.com/history-pitch/

At first, I questioned the reference to the Treaty of Versailles, but sure enough the treaty referenced:
"(22) Convention of November 16 and 19, 1885, regarding the estab-

I'm not certain that LP has always meant A=440.

Side note: my primary instrument is an 1898 Conn...definitely LP, but not labeled as such.
