Maybe I'm misunderstanding your last post, you probably know, but I just wanted you to know, so you don't work with that one in vain. The Finale/End Title can be a confusing one on that score.
I both agree and disagree: it is a different edit (or montage), but the partition should be the same. I mean that when I listen to the end Title explosion, the note should be the very same on both versions. And so for the rest of the cue, excepted perhaps the Alt March, though even if it is a different play, the partition should still match.

I've just made an interesting experiment: I re-made the film version edit of "Snowspeeders" (Hyperspace + Snowspeeders) this time with the actual tracks I have (RSO layered), and it was kind of ok, no more no less. Then I changed the "Snowspeeders" track speed to LP speed (1,28%), while "Hyperspace" is still at LP speed (0,84%) and... Bingo ! The percussion pitch between the two cues matches exactly for the edit (what means the Anthology tracks can't really match what is a little confirmed in my previous edit).
The exemple above is a good one to show how precise I work, as to show how much different are the speed changes between the Antho (Or SE wich is at the very same speed excepted for some processed parts) and the RSO. Is it due to the master tapes transfers wich have been so badly conserved ? I'm beginning to be sure it is. Then the RSO LP transfer may be the most fiable source about the speed. (To notice: only one cue - "City In The Clouds" - matched with the Anthology with almost no speed change).
The Finale on RSO LP is faster than my version (RSO CD), wich is itself faster than the film...! You talk of a headache !... Then I also wonder: is it possible they changed the pitch and speed on film version to make it fit with the crawl (wich must have been done to match the music, I know, but I expect anything)...
EDIT: Here again, I just compared the "Finale" from the C. Gerhardt recording with the RSO LP transfer and guess what ?... Same pitch. Then I suspect the film version of being too low. Following this feeling I may try to stick the closer as possible to the RSO LP but... There's a "but"... Some multi-tracks edits have different speeds: the new "Magic Tree" version I entirely layered with the LP had to be switched and speed converted in many parts to have his many segments match... !
... You don't imagine all the work that have been done since v3... You won't recognize the set, men ! So, am I ready to redo even a couple of layered tracks in the inverted way ?... The answer that comes in my mind is composed of two letters written in bold...
EDIT 2: Anyway, let me know mango if you found the LP's transfers. Otherwise I'll post the End Titles for you to check it. Thanks for this !
