I don't think so. The geometry and framing of the two versions is far too close (nigh-on identical aside from the UHE shifted up by a few pixels) for them to have been entirely different film-to-video transfers. If you meant that they were different masters of the same underlying transfer, then I agree 100%. Fox brought up the brightness, tweaked the colour here and there, and dialled the DNR to 11 for the "digital restoration". The UHE so smooth and grainless, it's a perfect candidate for a 3D makeover because it'd be that much easier to work with.
