Well, I think both of those may have pulled it from the same Wiki, even SW.com has it the same way. I suppose the real issue is if you are old enough to have seen it in theaters and actually recall that, you probably are old enough to start forgetting things as well.
I did see in the Rinzler ESB book that Ep. V was part of drafts from 1978, so although the film was registered as SW II, internally it was already being written as Ep. V and that George had intended STAR WARS to be titled Ep IV from the start but was concerned about audience confusion. According to Rinzler, who I think had done the most thorough and exhausting research on the matter.
