Here are a few frames from the ANH SE PAL laserdisc for comparison. Averaged from 5 captures and filtered once with DeGrainMedian(). No colour correction applied (although white level reduced slightly):

In terms of resolution, its not as good as the TB broadcast, but better than the US set. It also has fewer frames missing (I think my count on my previous capture was 1 frame) from the numbers we've got. It has the same smearing as the other releases, of course. The colours are also the most saturated of the SE releases I've seen, meaning the pink scenes on Tatooine are very pink indeed, but its fixable. I've only captured side 1 so far (the film is split over 2 sides on the PAL release).
