These are the mono mixes. I assume EMI/Apple are OK with them being posted on Youtube since they haven't taken them down.

RS124 on this mix. More evident at the beginning before Ringo's
Fairchild'ed drums enter. Piano, shaker, bass etc. give it away to me. Drums were limited to tape btw, not on mix/reduction.

Same deal.

A Norman Smith recording from 1964.
Edit: Never noticed it before but there seems to be a slightly off tape edit @ 1:40 Or maybe it's Ringo out of time as usual! Sorry Ringo

Dynamic range is obliterated throughout.
There are way too many examples to pick any more
IMO, some of Malcolm Addey, Peter Bown and Stuart Elthan's recordings from pre Beatles era can be technically better than early Beatles recordings. Those after 1960 would make use of an RS124 compressor as well as an RS114 limiter - until 1964 when Fairchild 660's replaced the RS114.
You can hear the RS114 on early stuff, it tends to break up on peaks and gives a raw sound: Lennon's
"Twist And Shout" vocal would be one example.
A Malcolm Addey recording from 1960 which would be using an RS124 and an RS114. Cliff's vox is probably RS114 but who knows? :
