There is no 2K scan of the special edition trilogy, the restoration was all analog and physical,And how the 2004 SE was made?
AFAIK it’s based on the 1997 SE 2k scan.
In 2004 the only thing that was digitized from 1997 were the SE scenes plus the redone wipes, everything else is from the original camera negative, perhaps in some trailers from 2003 when the trilogy was announced on DVD you could see scenes with the 1997 colorimetry since the digital restoration of the negatives was still in process and they had to show something now, this is the reason why the DVD menus and cover images have very different colors than the HD Master.
