Good idea with the samples ABC, makes for an easy comparison.
I think it will make things more interesting, giving a concrete idea of what's hidding behind rough recordings (mostly Antho) as in processed ones (mostly SE)... And the analog recordings.
It will show too that no processings of any kind other than good EQ's, plus a few creativity, are required for such a restoration (A few tracks mostly on CD2 have a corrupted signal but I finally found the most fitting EQ's ever: their relationship with the better tracks is now quite obvious).
I don't know but I think you'll witness the first restoration of such a specie in the soundtracks history (?)... :)
Have you managed to get some good results from the Murphy remixed Musical journey DVD tracks?
Only one interested me (Asteroïd Field) and fortunately it has only two short dialogues. I narrowed and re-equilized separately the two stereo channels, kept the two mono tracks (EQ's on the main center one, lowered the bass one), and the assemblage is quite surprising next to the 5.1 surround mix. I'd say it is not bad... Not bad at all. (Sounds closer to the RSO version, though it smells to have been processed with some compression or so...).
Funny, I saw your post ten minutes after I listened to the result.

Edit: btw, sorry again for the wait guys. I won't tell you I'll post the samples in two days this time... But let's say in 48 hours !
