So is the Black and White mix from a PCM master or DSD? Since this mix is from the original analog tapes you would think the engineer would do an analog to PCM mix and a separate analog to DSD mix.

Who knows? If it is transferred twice to the two recording formats I wonder which one sounds the best? The PCM surround mix is 24/96 (from 24/192 masters?), and the SA-CD consumer version is, of course, 1 bit/2.8 MHz (some DSD workstations use a modified multi-bit DSD converter with 5.6 MHz sampling and there was a rumor on the AVS Forum that an improved DSD version may have been added to the Blu-Ray specs.).

Hmmm...
