UHD 5.0 is the original mix, but more muffled than LaserDisc and even the previous Blu-ray's gentle remix. Atmos is revisionist.
1991 LD is Dolby Stereo matrix encoded from the original six track master and this was later upgraded to a 5.1 Dolby Digital version prepared for the first DVD. The 5.1 version may have had some slight tweaking in the process. This was reused for the DVD CE boxset and then the 5.1 on Blu-ray seems like a slight upgrade of the DVD track. (The first pressing from the UCE boxset had audio defects rampant on the BD. These were corrected for standalone pressings.) All 5.1s sound roughly the same as the LD 2.0 in terms of the mix-but the LD PCM mastering seems like the only one that is direct without any major processing. Sadly it only exists in matrix stereo and not in discrete.
The 50th Anniversary box set has some exclusive extras

Kino Lorber Blu-ray doesn’t have good encoding, but according to BR, the English Cult Films Blu-ray is worse, and the original master just isn’t that good
