Later on, in "Dancing with the Moonlight Knight", the violins are alone. A choir can also be heard by itself elswhere (I forget where) in the concert. I have to assume the frame was loaded with Brass B, 3 Violins (probably M400 Violins) and 8 Choir.

I do wonder how they accounted for the difference in sound between the Mk2 strings and the bass accordion for Watcher which was a big part of their show for a long time. Did they have special tapes or did they just roll with what was around.
