Detailed publication information regarding <PERSON>'s short stories—along with valuable comments on the differences between the Urdu and Hindi versions—is available in the "Notes" at the end of each of the four volumes of Premchand: the complete short stories (2017), edited by <PERSON> and published by Penguin Books. From the foreword by <PERSON>:
It is now possible to say with certainty which of the two versions of the story was first published, and in the great majority of the cases it is clear that the version first published was also the first to be written.
He goes on to say:
Though the early translations from Urdu into Hindi were mostly done by <PERSON> himself, we have firm evidence, for example, that the final manuscript of the Hindi Rangbhumi was translated into Urdu by another person who demanded a rate that <PERSON> thought to be exorbitant. In any case, all his works throughout his life in both Hindi and Urdu were published under <PERSON>'s own name with no mention of a translator and are treated by the common reader as being equally original.
A sample entry from the "Notes" section, when there are no additional comments regarding differences between the Urdu and Hindi versions, is as follows (taken for the short story This Is My Homeland, translated into English from Urdu for volume 1 by <PERSON>):
First published in Urdu with the title 'Yehi Mera Watan Hai' in the Urdu anthology, Soz-e Watan (1908). Now available in Kulliyaat-e Premchand 9 (2000). It was published in Hindi with the title 'Yehi Meri Matribhumi Hai' in Prem Prasun (1924).
The bare bones of this information has been compiled into the table below for all the stories in this collection. The entry for the year is bolded if it is for the version published first.
