Is that added for the book publication, or were the original stories published like that?

Murder at the Vicarage is the next novel for me to read in my roughly-chronological (and very slow) Christie read-through. I'm also trying to read a short story a day, although I occasionally forget. I'm reading from the three large Complete Stories volumes rather than the canonical collections. I feel they are mostly better organised than the original collections. I've read about thirty Poirots, and all of the Tommy & Tuppence (Partners in Crime) and Mr Quin (Mysterious Mr Quin + 2 strays) so far.

The Marple stories are collected in a volume I haven't yet started with all of the non-series stories, in chronological order of first publication. I'm wondering if that's going to be missing anything compared to the Thirteen Problems book version? Unlike Miss Marple's Final Cases, they do at least seem to be in the same order.
