Only a couple music cues in the 5.1 mix are sourced from the original elements, and everything else is basically mono and sounds quite out of place as a result. It’s also been no-noised and consequently sounds extremely muffled.
The hissy 192 kbps mono from the DVDs sounds worlds better than the 5.1 on the blu-ray, and can be synced frame-accurately with a quick delay/trim. No idea how the 224 kbps mono on the US blu-ray sounds, as I only have the European one, but one should hope that its fidelity is more similar to the mono on the DVD than the 5.1 on the blu-ray.

Unfortunately, I think the Mono on the Blu-ray is a downmix of the 5.1 because it's near identical sounding, and pales in comparison to the DVD Mono.
