Not sure if ceolachan derived that tune from Finbarr Dwyer’s slide (https://thesession.org/tunes/13940 ), or, if Finbarr did that himself.
If the former, I’d guess Finbarr did the same as ‘c’, and based this polka off of his own slide. ceolachan posted the 2/4 polka almost a year after Finbarr’s passing in 2014.
If the latter, then either Finbarr wrote two quite similar polkas, or, one polka diverged into two through typical folk music evolution.
