According to tardis.wikia.org, Beyond the Sun was the working title for two Doctor Who stories:

• series 1, serial 2: The Daleks and
• series 1, serial 5: The Hidden Planet, which was never produced.

while serials A, B and C are the BBC's production codes for the first three stories of Doctor Who:

• 100,000BC: An Unearthly Child,
• The Daleks and
• Inside the Spaceship: The Edge of Destruction.

We trust the Radiophonic Database, which says that tape TRW 6029 includes the last of these: "Serial C: The Edge of Destruction (a.k.a. Beyond the Sun)".

Candidates

From The Daleks

Episode 1:

• 20:40-21_49 Exploring the Daleks' base

The start of episode 2 has the above as a quiet background with people talking over it, then the rest of episode 2 and the other 4 episodes have just filtered noise and simple effects.

It's always seemed odd that Delia seemed to have had nothing further to do with Doctor Who after making the theme, despite all the activity that there must have been at the RW to make sound for the programmes. We can only guess why, but if this is indeed the Betond the Sun]] music for which she is credited, this also seems to be the point - in just the second story - at which she backs out of the Doctor Who programme and leaves making its sound to the rest of the Radiophonic Workshop.
