Well as we discussed elsewhere, the 35mm version has a lot of white clipping that may or may not have been intentional.
I don't think that clipping is ever intentional. Which 35mm version are you talking about, one of the 35mm prints -1 had acquired? As I understand it, interpositives has lower contrast than regular release print stock, to take into account for the contrast that builds up in the internegative and release print stages, I'm sure there are differences between different prints and what film stock it is. But what's going on in the case of what we are seeing on the video transfers on the Technidisc or the GOUT is obviously clipping introduced when they did the transfers, nothing unusual.
