Catnap and Puggo Grande (until proven otherwise) appear to be the same, a 16mm capture. [and there's also the theory that they are the same print, captured years apart]
I see, didn't know that. At least now there seems to be a connection between the composite and credit variation. The only question mark now is why the cloudy composite reappeared on the NTSC video master.
It seems pretty logic that they took the opportunity to revise this composite at the same time they revised the credits as it is located on the same last reel. Maybe a possibility of more subtle fixes in the Death Star battle as well.
Perhaps they just took an early 77 IP (simply because it was the highest quality they could find for making NTSC masters) and then the person in charge of prepping the video master wasn't told about any of the other changes - like the X and Y wing takeoff - and just spliced in the new crawl and revised credits.
