Haberkamp, 190 (K. 399 and 547a only); Hirsch IV, 987/VI; RISM M 7319 (2 pieces missing); Köchel, 6th ed., 916. Note that K. 408/I here is not the orchestral march but the first edition of a piano version which Mozart made for his wife (see Bauer-Deutsch IV, #1236, letter of Constanze to Breitkopf & Härtel). Also, K. 547a and 385i are first editions (with the last movement in the latter missing). Part of the first attempt of a complete edition of Mozart's works. It was not unusual that works by other composers were published under Mozart's name to make them more attractive, but their inclusion in this "complete edition" was unintentional. (22248)
