I also know that Aynsley Dunbar is the drummer on those two tracks that appear later. What I don't know though is whether Aynsley came back to the Bluesbreakers after Fleetwood left, or were they, like you say, recorded earlier meaning Fleetwood would have no part in their recording.
However does that mean that the only song that they recorded in the studio was part of Peter's birthday present was 'Fleetwood Mac'.
Also I know that Double Trouble and It Hurts Me Too are on Looking Back, I have the album. However I was asking if the versions that appear on Looking Back were re-recorded without Fleetwood?
As for asking John, he has done such a good job with the discography on the Penguin I was sure he would know something as obscure, he usually does.

No offence taken.
The history seems quite simple. All these tracks are the same on any record (looking Back, The Original Mac, Crusade re-release) ; if any "re-recordings" took place they have never surfaced.
Green used his "birthday present" sessions (16/02/67) to record these tracks with John McVie and Aynsley Dunbar :
CURLY
RUBBER DUCK
GREENY
MISSING YOU
Then Dunbar quit, and Mick Fleetwood was in for at least a few weeks during spring 1967.
The new Bluesbreakers line-up (Mick, Peter, Mayall and McVie) recorded one session on April 19, 1967:
DOUBLE TROUBLE
IT HURTS ME TOO
FLEETWOOD MAC
FIRST TRAIN HOME
LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY
NO PLACE TO GO
The last 4 items are really the first Fleetwood Mac recordings, and the last 2 tracks appear on the first ("Dogs and Dustbin") album.
