Yep, that is the "007" theme, and like "The James Bond Theme", it works very well in number of films with alternate arrangements.
That "007" theme was also used in You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever, Moonraker, and also a very striped down & simple arrangement was used in Octopussy.
Another theme used in more then one film is the Space March. That was in You Only Live Twice, Diamonds, & Moonraker.
The underwater theme from Thunderball was re-arranged for use in A View to A Kill.
One thing that could be tried is taking Bond Music that was recorded for albums by 3rd party music people, but not for the films themselves. There must be a hundred of that type of album out there. That tactic may make the arrangements a bit more distinct & unlike those in other Bond films. You can also dig around for old John Barry film soundtracks. Try out cues from films Barry did that are not out on VHS or DVD at all, or Films that are not well known. The music for the 1976 King Kong sounds allot like Moonraker (The bond film released right after The Spy who Loved Me)
I can't remember, but was it not the soundtrack to "King Kong" that kept John Barry from working on Spy Who Loved Me?
Again, I would love to see someone do this.
