I believe it’s how it usually happened: Criterion uses show print or studio print as-is then later MGM would either reissue that or scan it on their better equipment for a better presentation or go back and use a higher generation source eventually.
From what I’ve heard on FP, Criterion uses a print and is contrasty whereas MGM used a IP and later reissued in full CAV and ported to DVD.
