Russ was kind and uploaded an avi of his 80's ITV-broadcast recording, and I must say this is a very nice transfer with most of the original timing intact, no gamma tweaks like those we're used to be seeing in the jawas-canyon was applied here, it's very film-like in its quality, this along with AntcuFaalb's bootleg is great reference material to the timing on Eastmancolor prints if I may venture an opinion like Threepio would say. Must've been awesome to have this one recorded in the 80's. Anyway, as I mentioned earlier his recording doesn't contain the credit roll, only the first credit card but look what I found:

^^ Instead of the iris, there's a dissolve.

The credit card is not video generated, it is identical to what we see on other prints with the same starfield and everything:

So, what the???

Haven't checked this source in detail yet but the source used is unique among all the transfers that's for sure, I also noticed what appears to be TV-cue dots.
