our chance, go!" In the version with the mono mix, these two shots are
reversed!

This is completely false. The shots are not reversed.
Luke throwing the grappling hook twice is pure myth as well. There are still many myths involving the "original" version of Star Wars that are completely false.

Also, I hear people speak of the LP audio as if it's mono (or from the mono mix). It is not. It is most definitely in stereo. Dialogue and sound effects take advantage of the stereo field. Listen to Han scream as he's chasing after the stormtroopers in the Death Star or Vader coming through the door on the Tantive before he confronts Leia. Just a couple of vivid examples. This audio is seared in my brain now as I've been working on my "Story Of" project for almost 6 months. Which, by the way, is almost complete.
It most certainly is the mono mix. It may be presented in stereo, but it is the mono sound mix.

Hmmm... I think you may be right. In fact, Aunt Beru's voice on the LP doesn't match the alternate voice on the mono mix version, either. But the LP does contain the full "Open the blast doors!/Close the blast doors!" line and Threepio's "a power loss at one of the terminals will allow the ship to leave" line as well. I'm going to take a wild stab and say the LP is actually based on the... 70mm mix?! Someone correct me if they think otherwise.

Aunt Beru has only one line on the LP: "Luke, Luke!" And it does in fact match the mono mix line.
