I recall Lorac was Brian Jamieson's company before he moved on to Twilight Time. I am guessing that they were incurring the bulk of the costs of the restoration and not WHV, so they could only afford to do it in SD. Perhaps they had to pay for it under the pretense that WB would reimburse them later, provided it did not go above a certain dollar amount that the studio felt would be their "break-even" point for potential profit from home video and repertory revenue.
