Do we know for sure Empire's mix wasn't futzed with on the later releases pre DC?

I did some extensive comparison with headphones between the original 35mm Dolby Stereo, analog LD track and digital LD track quite recently and I couldn't notice any single difference other than minor differences in fidelity. I'm pretty sure they used the same mix over and over again but someone else may think differently. It's difficult to prove of course but content wise I'm 99.9% sure they are the same mix. I would be glad if someone would chime in and prove me wrong but I guess until someone asks Burtt about it we will never know for sure.
