Even between the tape transfers of the exact same telecines there seems to be slight variations. I compared my 1982 PAL UK tape (made in USA) to Russs15's 1982 PAL UK tape (made in Japan) and found very minute differences at the edges of the left and right of the frame here and there (though only the odd line or so). Russs15 also spotted that my tape had a different fox intro title card. (http://youtu.be/-HJyFadDs3M) Small differences but it does add to the imperfect charm of this format (or not if you hate it!)
My tape intro is here as a comparison. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFfG8YF8PFY
It is hard to imagine that this is supposed to be from the same release.....
