Looks like I was half-right:

Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand, a fairly crude reworking of I Want To Hold
Your Hand, was the first to be recorded. They completed it in 11
takes, recording new vocals over the original rhythm track.

Sie Liebt Dich (She Loves You) was next. The original two-track
recording no longer existed, so The Beatles re-recorded the rhythm
track from scratch. They did this in 13 takes, then recorded their
German vocals, with the help of translator Otto Demmlar, sent to them
by Odeon.
