I just got my German Ultimate edition today and I can confirm that the Directors Cut and European cuts are identical to the French bluray. The US version is from the same source as the HD-DVD and Optidisc releases with none of the DNR and EE of the US and French BD releases. I looks like both versions sourced the MGM transfers from the same place but the US version was sourced from the US bluray version for the French release while the Optidisc or original HD-DVD transfer was sourced for the German release.

The TV cut is nice to have and I'm glad they used soft subs instead of burned in subs on that and the other extra features. The French blu-ray had the trailers, commercials, interviews, etc all hard-subbed in French, which is part of what prompted me to try and do HD remasters of the TV spots in the first place.
