He said that it was restored from the same elements that the current US DVD had used, but that that old disc had had DNR applied to make it look a bit sharper and less grainy."
That makes no sense in he slightest. You can't sharpen with DNR. Sounds like he got a bit confused somewhere. Unless some sharpening enhancement was used in the old DVD after the grain was reduced. I never noticed anything untoward in the way of edge enhancement before. I'll have to give it another look.
