My understanding is that the 2010 release
does have the original mono. However, it's encoded in lossy DTS rather than lossless DTS-HD or PCM. Also, it was only for the usual (ever so slightly) cut version of the film rather than the uncut version on the new 4K (and the recent Turbine) release.
Practically speaking, I don't think any of that is a massive obstacle to enjoying the film. But still... if you're going to release a presumably definitive, uncut transfer of one of the most iconic films in history, including a lossless original mono stream is not too much to expect.
