For some reason, they've elected to do the comparison with frames that
are close to each other, but not the same. Check the positions of the
people at the right and left edges. It's not just different cropping
as their legs are in obviously different positions. Presumably the
banner just got Bob Dylaned over the course of however many frames
there were between the two.

I wondered if they will go back to the 65mm Ultra Panavision negative to get
better color and less grain on the segements in the film that
required the single strip camera. Did MGM keep those trims and are they
usable. It would seem they could save a little effort in the "restoration"
by using those elements instead of the multi-generation 3 strip elements.
