Not sure what version "present and correct" is supposed to refer to...

I'm assuming it's just a matter of taking the crawl/flyover from the Blu-ray, doing some processing (at minimum, scaling to 720p, but could also attempt better color-matching, laser despecialization, and starfield de-obliteration), and pasting it over the equivalent frames in the DeEd.

The result would be DeEd with the '81 crawl, with the same timing/cue glitch that it's always had. Any attempt to actually fix the timing glitch, or just paste text in front of Harmy's existing crawl, wouldn't be accurate to any version of Star Wars that's ever existed, so I hope no attempt is made to do that.

This is actually false! The BD contains the SE crawl and flyover, which was made in '97 and has the fast receding SW logo. The '81 crawl and flyover had a different starfield, whereas the '97 crawl has the same starfield as the '77 crawl, albeit shifted slightly upwards, so in order to "restore" the '81 crawl faithfully, one would have to recreate it or use a LD transfer for it and then you'd have to redo the flyover as well, because it was recomposited optically in '81 and has different matte lines than the '77 one and the '97 one, which was recomposited digitally. Plus the background has a slightly different look in the '81 version.

You could probably still use the '97 crawl, if you managed to separate it from the background, because I think what they did was that they wanted to recomposite the crawl and the flyover digitally for the SE, using the original elements, and they ended up using the original element of the '81 crawl and the original elements from '77 for everything else.
