From Reply #8:


The way these two paragraphs are worded might give the impression that Pope Pius XII was involved with "the ACTUAL 62 missal" as someone has called it, which would be unusual (impossible actually), as Pope Pius XII reposed in the Lord on October 9, 1958 and the 1962 missal was promulgated by Pope John XXIII on 23 June, 1962, sometime afterwards.

The link in Reply #10 does not work. I was able to find this article from Romanitas Press

It appears that the last rubrical revisions of the new (first and original) 1962 Missal were completed by June 1962, when it was promulgated, and the last textual change, the addition of the name of St. Joseph to the Communicantes, was in November of the SAME Year, but the 1962 Missal (first and original) WAS NOT released for printing until May of 1963. I have consulted several online / downloadable pdf versions of the 1962 Missal, verifying from the title page or introductory pages that each was the ACTUAL and OFFICIAL 1962 Missal, and every single one had the name of St. Joseph in the Communicantes.

I can find NO information that there has ever been more than ONE edition of the typical edition of the 1962 Roman Missal and every source shows that it included the name of St. Joseph to the Communicantes.  Those who are arguing otherwise have provided NO citations to substantiate their view.  A rational person must conclude that there never was an in-print typical edition of the 1962 Roman Missal which did not have the name of St. Joseph in the Communicantes.
