They are identical to the Blu as far as changes go, the Blu has the removed reflection also nothing else was changed 

Sorry d_j & You_Too for being off topic, but I just want to be clear regarding this. Trust me dvdmike, I know what I'm talking about. I own that broadcast version myself (which contain the original jeep down the cliff-shot) and the BD. It's true that the BD oddly enough kept one 2003 tweak (reflection removal) but others were restored to their original state, if you don't believe me, compare the 2nd matte shot in the film; see the reflections in the water from the plane in the port for one example. (Would post comparison examples for you if I had access to my PC but I'm on the phone.)

I'm sorry to disappoint you but there was more subtle little tweaks other than the "cobra reflection" in the original DVD transfer that still is present in that stellar broadcast version. As to that CGI cliff-shot that mysteriously appeared in one of the broadcasts, no idea when it was done, Spielberg has said it was a mistake it got out there, maybe South Park had an effect afterall. ;)
