Yes, these are all consistent with what we know. Mainly audio changes, most of which appeared in the SE, as well as a few differences in wipes/dissolves versus cuts, a few less-refined FX shots, and a single missing shot of Han and Leia observing Luke in the bacta tank, which as i pointed out earlier was already an established difference--due to this ommission, the sequence focuses strictly on the robots and technology, cutting from 21B straight to the droid arm extending and then the closeup of Luke, perhaps explaining why this scene is remembered so differently. Again, this basically puts to rest this whole silly thing.

Note that the Wikipedia entry for "Changes made from the 70mm version of ESB" lists a LOT
of changes from the 70mm version. One of them listed there that I recall seeing on a bootleg
was the part where 3PO had an extra line in the asteroids, saying "there's no where to go":

I love how your able to put this whole silly thing to rest with every post you make.
