The closeness of Sauron to Saruman especially when handwritten by JRRT led to may errors by copy typists according to HoME. But an unforgivable example is on the 13 cassette editionof the BBC RAdio version ( the one in the long black and gold boxnot the 14 cassette "Children's edition~" with Music), where the Episode called "The voice of Saruman" is written as the "Voice of Sauron".
