Special Edition PS2 PAL Version?

Does this have the special edition content that was in the pal release?:

The "Special Edition" PAL and NTSC-J versions of the game featured a variety of additions and extras to the game, including new VR Training options, added scenarios, more difficulties, a music video featuring a remixed "Beyond the Bounds" theme, improved anti-aliasing and graphical optimizations, and new Orbital Frames for Versus Mode, among other improvements to the game.[33] This version was released in Japan as Anubis Zone of Enders Special Edition on January 15, 2004 alongside a CD soundtrack.

This is a remaster, so the graphical things are moot points, also the PS2 PAL version was still slugish with lots of frame drops back then anyway. This game runs comparatively better.

The gameplay content is all in there. I can't say for sure what new VR training content there is, because I never bothered with it. Maybe that's the subweapons ones.
The Extra Missions and Versus mode OFs are checked. The game also features a new asset viewer mode and a VR mode (actual hardware, VR glasses) where you play in first-person from the cockpit.
I don't know exactly what new rooms were added from the earlier US/JP releases, but I know the game well enough to confirm nothing is missing from the special edition.

The BtB remix video and the video retelling the previous game are missing, but you can watch those in YT.
