It seems to me you'd do better to leave the TOC page unnumbered and use roman numerals for the 'Record of revisions' pages

At a more fundamental level, the presence of the 'List of effective pages' and the presence of the provision for a 'Record of revisions' pages suggests you're still using a revisions system from the word-processing dark ages - a holdover from the days of stencils & Roneo duplicating. Such a system is a disaster waiting to happen. For example, in 1998 the Esso Longford gas plant exploded, at a cost of two lives and millions of dollars of damage. Out-dated procedures relying on manuals with 'version' replacement pages - of the kind it seems you're describing - that hadn't been processed by the end users were a contributing factor. Any organisation needing manuals can afford the cost of reprints of the entire manual - or at least whole Sections - when it gets out-dated. I well remember from my days as an auditor - decades ago now - finding that manuals hadn't been updated with replacement pages, leading to serious processing errors.
