Copyright 1950 in USA by Hawkes & Sons. (London Ltd)
copyright for all countries.

the plate number is 19948

It is only public domain in countries with at life + 50 copyright law. Given that it would still be under copyright in the EU, it would undoubtedly be blocked. The Symphony no.4 was composed in 1945, so doesn't meet the pre-1923 date for public domain in the US. The short answer is that you would probably be wasting your time.

Dont care if I'm wasting my time, I'm just happy to contribute.

Then post away as it is eligible here.
