I'd have to play them side by side, but about 14 years ago when I had too much 
time on my hands, I tried synchronizing them to see if I could get pstereo. 
Strictly analog, difficult to keep exactly on pitch and in phase, and probably 
not different at all..although the possibility exists that two masters were cut 
(which was usually the case) and they were cut with different heads.
