Why would they need to do that? Are you saying that they did so only on the Blu-ray's "US version", or both?
It's just a guess. I have no idea if it's true.
I figure if they brought the U.K. cut to the U.S., they may have legally needed it to say "A LOU ADLER-MICHAEL WHITE PRODUCTION", but that wouldn't have been present on the U.K. print.
The easiest (stupidest) way to fix it would be to edit in the opening credits from an existing U.S. transfer. It could explain the cropping being present only in the opening credits; they used a different source than the rest of the movie.
