Tracklist (above) is wrong and incomplete, resulting from inner sleeve layout text, text form (tracks titles in capitals) and, unequivocally, from Side B label, can be considered of historical significance for early UK issues, as Side B apparently begins with an untitled 'hidden track'.

Updated Side B tracklist, showing the real content on the record:

B1 Peace-A Theme (Fripp)
B2 Cat Food (Fripp, McDonald, Sinfield)
B3 The Devil's Triangle - including:
B3a Merday Morn (Fripp, McDonald)
B3b Hand of Sceiron (Fripp)
B3c Garden of Worm (Fripp)
B4 Peace-An End (Fripp, Sinfield)

B1 ‘Peace-A Theme’ was absent as a title on all UK early issues (no mention of it on sleeve and label), but it appeared (on sleeve and label) as track '1' on some first issues outside UK (e.g. US Atlantic [r5275119]) and on many more reissues.
B1 position was taken here by ‘Cat Food’ instead.
Actual B3 ‘The Devil's Triangle’ did not appear on record sleeve and label as a main title including subtitles (a,b,c), but as an independent track ('2' on label); the 3 subtitles (also looking like independent instrumentals) were numbered '3.','4.','5.' on label.
‘Peace-An End’ was '6' on label, but it should have been track '4'.
Only German Stateside 1970 release [r1391596], among early issues, seems to show on Seite B label the complete and real sequence, correct timings included.
