A Comment to that YT suggests the 1951s are Brahms'.

Good try, but unfortunately does not work (and afaik Brahms only wrote a cadenza for the 1st mvt):

So far, the best candidate seems ABM himself, at least with Giulini and Mitropoulos. He used the Beethoven cadenzas as early as 1956 with De Bavier. But maybe more info will surface...
