With any preservation project that is IVTC'd (which is every one I've encountered save for dark_jedi's transfers), you can apply the X0 timecode offset to 01:00:40:12 at the first frame of the Star Wars logo, set at 24fps, and it should match up just fine.

Here's something you can try if you're bored: Line up the X0 TC Print with any PAL or pre-THX transfer. What you will notice is that certain frames in places where the film was spliced are actually missing from the PAL and pre-THX versions. Mostly these are the frames at the beginning and end of shots that have yellow tape at the bottom. For example, check out the end of the shot where Vader says "There will be no one to stop us this time!". I'm not 100% sure about the PAL, but there are actually 3 frames missing from the Special Collection at the end of that shot and 2 at the beginning of the next shot. When people talk about audio sync issues, this is one of the big reasons why it happens.
