There was some discussion of missing or extra frames here and there, namely fading out/in to Threepio in the oilbath, or the TIEs approaching the Death Star in comp 60. These are reel change points--as such, it is common for one transfer to have a few frames more or less than another, as they have to be either put together later in the video realm, or the reels edited together in real time during the telecine. While these would count as differences, they are the kind of thing that will be found between every transfer ever made (not just original/SE), and thus do not fall within doubleofive's listing criteria.

 

I agree with you, the fade out/in to Threepio in the oilbath is a reel change point, but I don't know if that one was missing any frames between transfers, they just remade the fade, right? And I don't think the other one, comp. 60, is a reel change point though, IIRC the next reel change is after Tarkin says "We will then crush the rebellion with one swift stroke", I could be wrong though.

Edit: I checked, the scene is actually a 1997-recomp:
