There is no grain, just a crop/zoom to remove the left/right borders. It does not restore what has previously been lost by the original cropping.
Black levels, detail and colors look the same as the U.S. anniversary disc. I can post more pictures if you want.
In fact, I'd almost swear the zooming softened the picture by a tiny bit (of course the U.S. disc could have light sharpening).
(Not all screenshots mine.)
