I actually wonder if the "82 IP" was some kind of final-cut assembly version that was put together before the negative was conformed by the negative cutter. In other words, the disparate elements would have been printed to IP and then cut together. Would the light edges indicate that the glue was applied at a positive stage, or that the glue is printed in from a negative stage?

Either way, the fact that the glue is not on the versions with the burn marks could well indicate that the glued version predates the burn marks, and in fact any of the sources used to make the theatrical release prints. (The lack of subtitles could be another piece of evidence in favor of it being earlier.)
