Unit #4 Bambi Dec 22, 1938

Unit #4 Bambi Dec 22, 1938

Inducks: ...
Type: color pencil, possibly by Carl Barks
Creation date: 1938, December 22
Colorist: [Carl Barks?
Art: [none]
Pencil: [Carl Barks?]
Script: [unknown]
Hero: [none]
Submission: [none or unknown]
Publication date: [none or unknown]
Issue: [none or unknown]
Pages: 1
Orientation: portrait
Width: ±6 inch
Height: ±8 inch

Additional credits: 6 inch by 8 inch pad paper with a small perforation tear at the top, but it was unfortunately glued to another piece of paper to act as matting.
Above the drawing, a pencil note mentions "UNIT #4 BAMBI Dec 22, 1938". The person in the middle seems to picture Carl Barks, with octagon glasses.
In pencil (appears contemporary), on the back of the sketch, the names are/were mentioned: Carl Barks, Chuck Couch, Cecil Beard.
On the lower front, above the 2 Disney Model Sheet or animation paper slits, the names are/were the same except someone added "unknown" for the 4th person (not contemporary).
The writing of "Bambi Unit #4", the date, and the names on the back are in the same handwriting. It looks like the names on the lower front were put on later, copied from the back with an added "unknown" for the 4th person.

Backstage: In about 1938, Barks had a six-week stab, "trying his hand" at Walt Disney's full-length feature »Bambi«.

Owners, past and present: Current owner purchased it from Animation Plus Gallery in Cary, North Carolina, and believes they got it from a private collection, when they had a few shops in the LA area of California. Originally it came out of Disney. They guaranteed it was contemporary.

Geoffrey Blum's article "One More Hurrah" in Uncle Scrooge Adventures No. 33 (Series II), credits the sketch as a cover design for the Danish edition of Horsing Around With History [story]. No issue is specified.

Questions: Has the Disneyana book ever been published? And if so, does it contain any Barks material?
Which Danish edition of "Horsing Around With History" is meant in "Uncle Scrooge Adventures" #35?
Is there really a connection between the sketch and plans for a cover for "Horsing Around With History", concerning the unusual landscape format and the equally unusual abundance of background details? For example, maybe Barks or someone else remembered the sketch and suggested that its resembling treasure travel theme could make it a suitable cover design for "Horsing Around With History"?
