Info: DVNR smearing in GOUT not in the master...? Or is the 1995 release a different master altogether...?

OK, I have read several people here say that the 1995 THX “One Last Time” release was sourced from the same master as the 1993 Definitive Collection and consequently the GOUT. Also it has been said that it is the 1993 master that is corrupted by the horrible DVNR smearing present on GOUT, which causes the 4 eyed stormies and other stuff like that. But I just checked my 1995 widescreen THX VHS capture and guess what? No 4 eyed stormtrooper, no smearing (or at least far from the amout seen on GOUT). Here’s a proof:

Also note, that the framing is slightly different and so are the colours (nicer and more vibrant on the VHS, though admitedly a bit too red).

In the second picture note the guys passing the speeder, especially his legs.

To me it seems like it might be a different (and better) transfer after all.
