Looking at those comparisons, it looks like the ITV broadcast used the '77 flyover. Look at the Y-shaped cluster of stars at frame center near the horizon of Tatooine, the density of the shadow on the foreground moon, the thinner halo on the horizon that actually looks like a glow and less like it's painted in (something which the '81 composite made much more obvious).

However, I remember reading years ago that the ITV broadcast had the ANH crawl (squeezed?). I also read that it doesn't have the Tantive burn marks.

Russ, can you confirm what crawl is on the ITV broadcast, and whether or not the Tantive marks are there? I've never heard of a version with the ANH crawl and the '77 flyover, and I've also never seen a source with the '77 flyover but no burn marks and no original alien subtitles...
