Unfortunately, no. I don't even have an LD player.

In the German preservation thread, grisan said there was just a hard cut to the German credits, and he guessed it was probably a few frames earlier to hide the original iris effect.

Since I doubt that any foreign-language version had a new wipe, I'm now starting to think that the sloppy transition Marvins found was how the original French prints looked. (I'm guessing that the video edit to the French picture element was right before the group shot - with only a few exceptions, the end of the opening flyover shot and the beginning of the final group shot have always been the cut points for every alternate crawl/credit roll.)
