I listening to Alan Young's radio shows from the 1940s.  This is a talented man.

I'm guessing Allan Lane spoke live on set to keep the timing & then they also dubbed him in later on.

If you watch Part 3 of this interview, Alan states that Rocky Lane was on the set during filming, and when Ed started "talking" Rocky started his lines.

it would be great to understand how they added Ed's voice with Alan Rocky Lane , was it done live or dubbed in after the show , where was Rocky Lane when they qwere doing the filming
