I'm finding it hard to tell - the slight flickering keeps making it look like a tv broadcast. (but that same effect was in the technicolor clips) - but my sense is this is a 35mm print because it feels so rich and detailed, but maybe the capture device it was made with make it look a bit soft in comparison to the technicolor clips. Otherwise they feel similar.
The flickering has to be from the capturing device. I can't see it when I'm watching the VHS on my CRT TV. none seems to think it has something to do with overloading and resetting, but I don't know anything about that.
The VHS is definitely from 1978, as I had my coworker verify it with his father. When did they first broadcast SW on TV?
