The PAL version seems brighter- maybe that's why there's a perception of added detail? Seems counterintuitive that they'd use the NTSC for the first two, but bothered to dig up the PAL for the third.

I agree.  The brightness makes the PAL seem better at first, but I actually think the NTSC has slightly better detail - though there's not much in it. 

They're very close, but the transfers definitely have slightly different cropping.  The PAL seems to have more at the top and the NTSC more at the bottom.  

Maybe because ROTJ was a compaatively recent film they still had a separate PAL master available.  Did the NTSC and PAL laserdiscs have the same masters?
