I believe it's the first edition in English language.
As far as I know the first edition in any language was the Italian edition,
published on 15th November 1957 by Feltrinelli.
Here the cover of the first edition:

By the way in Italy Dr. Zhivago is strongly connected with the extremely
controversial figure of its publisher, Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, who also
published "Il gattopardo" (The Leopard, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa.), was
connected with the early left wing armed groups of the seventies and died in
1972 while putting a bomb under a high voltage power line pylon outside
Milan.
