Correct, which is what led to that missing fade from the first printing of the 4K Blu-ray! With 2001, the lower quality dupe footage has been noise reduced by WB in an attempt to match the other footage. On the 70mm prints I've seen the dupe scenes look very noisy and they stuck out like a sore thumb. Guess I conflated the issue earlier when discussing general studio restoration approaches to lower quality footage.

Recently, I noticed a few transitions that look a little noise reduced on the 4K of Casablanca.
