Based on this press release...

*Battle of Britain: No extras.

*A Bridge Too Far: No extras.

*The Longest Day:
-Only "Richard Zanuck on The Longest Day" -featurette missing (from 2-disc R1 "Cinema Classics Collection")

*Patton:
-All extras included (from 2-disc R1 "Cinema Classics Collection")
-"Audio Essay on General Patton by historian Charles Province (approx. 81 min) and "Jerry Goldsmith's Complete Musical Score" missing from the older R1 SE-release.

*The Sand Pebbles:
-Most extras included (from 2-disc R1 "Cinema Classics Collection"), but no sure about "Radio spots", "Photo galleries" and "MAD Magazine's "The Sam Pebbles" parody.
-Alternate "Roadshow version" not included (added scenes included to the "Deleted scenes" instead)
-"Trivia track" HD exclusive?

Not perfect, but not that bad. IMO, "Battle of Britain" and "A Bridge Too Far" have (again) been ready for a while (like "Predator" and "Commando") and that´s why "no extras". Not sure WHY is that, though (some have extras and some have not).
