Silver Injection label Type-1
It's a non-printed label made by moulding the label using an injection process.
They're a specific kind of monochrome center label that's produced by injecting colored plastic around the center of the record, with any text/logos produced by a stamp to remove that colored plastic - the black text you see on an injection label is actually the black polyvinyl chloride of the record itself.

These discs have an Apple logo at 12 o'clock.
Hey Jude is the only example of the Apple logo appearing on a silver label in the original series of Beatles singles, and is different from that which appears on the 20th anniversary sleeves.

Cf. Plastic injection labels.
With regard to the first injection moulded singles. According to an article on page 1 of Billboard magazine for 16th Oct 1971: 'Phonodisc is experimenting with a new production technique, painted labels, pioneered by French company SFP. The new process prints the labels directly on the records, cutting out the production costs of printing labels on paper. The new technique at present is limited to selected Polydor and Philips singles, and has been used on the New Seekers' 'Never Ending Song Of Love' and St. Cecelia's 'Leap Up And Down'. A specially adapted injection moulding machine is used in the process. Tony Muxlow, Phonodisc general manager, said "There is a cost saving using the method but at the moment it is very much at the development stage. It is confined to the Polydor and Philips labels, but we certainly won't be using it throughout our releases at the moment." The painted labels process will be used on the forthcoming Slade single, 'Cos I Luv You', to be released by Polydor this week.'
