That would make sense. The broadcast has the timing look of the DC, and in turn that look of being an older 90's era telecine base. The DC was completed in 92/93 with the LD master made soon thereafter and released in 94.

All of the older versions/transfers have a definite analog processed look to them that seemingly is closer to the original release presentation. It is very difficult to compare to the new timing of the FC, which is completely different. Digital cold Blue/greens versus the warm analog brown, reds, yellows, and soft blues of the DC and earlier.

What would be very interesting is to see an actual print of the DC to see if other differences come out. The video versions of the domestic, international and DC all look extremely similar if not identical. (DC may be differently timed in a few places)
