Or is the new crawl simply blended with the old star destroyer shot? I ask this because if the whole thing is from a new transfer that may indicate that LFL has material ready for a pristine transfer of the OOT, and may even have already done such a scan.

The stardestroyer scene looks clearly better than the rest of the film, and it is the original shot, since you can see the original black corners around the star destroyer when it overlaps with the moon.
