What is the source of your german PCM track? I don't now if you read my previous post, but the audio track of the 1995 german THX LDs will cause some desynching problems because these LDs miss some frames compared with other OT releases (e.g. the definitive collection) . This might also be the case with these french LDs. I just checked several PAL vhs tapes of the 1995 THX release (german, UK, australian) and noticed that all versions are missing frames. Probably because all of them came from the same master. Maybe all 1995 THX PAL releases have this problem. Unfortunately I don't have an US Faces LD version or DVD-transfer available to check if there are missing frames too.
A good possibility to check this is at the Lia mindprobe scene. In the definitive edition (and 2004 DVD) Vader and the two other guys walking through the hallway and opening the door is 164 (after IVTC) frames long. In my PAL rip it has only 160 frames (and no, it is not because of dropped frames during capturing).
At other points in movie, there are also one or two frames missing.
