I've got the OG anime and live action films on 4K and then 2.0 (an "updated" version of the 1995 film with a load of terrible CG scenes), Solid State Society (a film edit of the Stand Alone Complex, I think) and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence on Blu.

Is the limited edition steel book the original version? I can't find out anywhere.
I think [MENTION=7037]Soundwave[/MENTION] owns that version. Maybe he could shed some light
It's definitely sounds like it's the original version they've used. Fingers crossed.
The biggest tell on the 2.0 version is the very beginning of the film is all done in early 2000s CGI rather than the original hand drawn animation.
Hmm, I had a look at the first couple of mins and the green 3D map does look different to the std animation. Can’t tell whether it’s cgi or not as it’s not very clear (the std 2D pic is much cleaner) but if that 3D map wasn’t in the original version then this may conform your worst fears.
I do have a first ed R1 dvd which I could use to compare but I don’t have a multi region player set up at present.
EDIT: thinking about it, and reading the comment above, if it was 2007 cgi it would look cleaner than than the std animation, not rougher. So maybe it is original. Maybe that’s why it was redone in the first place as it hasn’t aged well.
