The Euro equivalent to the 1995 US Faces releases are the THX discs with the John Alvin artwork, released as singles in France and Germany and a boxed set ("coffret") in France only (and only on VHS in the UK). The singles are dubbed in their respective languages, while the boxed set is in English with French subtitles.
There were some pre-THX widescreen PAL releases in France but according to Laserman they were very poor quality.
The Laserdisc Database has a handy search function; here is a search returning all widescreen PAL releases in the Star Wars collection:
