There's no way that anyone in their right minds would have spliced the 97 footage back into the original negative. A new print must have been created after cleaning the o-neg as much as possible, and then the 97 scenes would have been spliced into that. There is proof that the original negatives were restored (Lucas said so himself in 97!), so the question is: Where the hell are they? The 1993 "Definitive" Collection laserdiscs cannot be our historal reference print!
