Playing around with the images, I found that the aspect ratio in those images is much taller than the other two...
Yes, I've noticed the aspect ratio on this transfer is a little bit streched by a few pixels, if that is an issue with the laserdisc itself I don't know. (the screen-caps are taken from arnie.d's superb preservation "V8")
It has nothing to do with an alteration done to the '81-version of some sort though ;) just modify them a little.
