Thanks to ,,,^..^,,, who provided Tantive Orange Item captures of the LaserDisc Coffret Trilogie : Edition Collector from 1994.  Their quality (one hard edge the other more faded) is similar to the 1993 Technidisc msycamore captured.

Interesting, he told me there were no orange marks on that version. That source also has the "cloudless" Yavin X-wings composite.

If it's the same transfer as the German "Silver Screen" letterboxed LD, it cuts to a different (and considerably inferior) print during the Greedo scene, presumably because the main source had the burned-in English subtitles.

The Greedo scene looked fine on the Technidisc, but I don't know if it was dropped in from the JSC/SWE transfer, or if they had found the same source used for the GOUT by then. (The German letterbox transfer was done in 1989, I believe. Replacing the German crawl and credits with the French ones would have just been a matter of video editing - and I'm betting that the master film source had them in English anyways.)
