Talking in general about theatrical tracks, and not this title in particular:
AFAIK the SDDS-8 mixes were not made from 6-track and "enhanced", but made specifically for 8 channels - at least reading some interviews made to audio technicians at the time; some put dialog in the LC RC channels, others prefer to put music; the SDDS-6 then was a folddown version; same for DTS and DD.
About 5.1 tracks: again AFAIK SDDS-6, DTS and DD all shared the same mix - it can't be different when more than one different format was printed on film, as the digital relies on analog track as backup if it fails somehow.
I mean, if the same film used DD and DTS and SDDS-6 (plus an analog track) on the same print.
If they print, let's say, DD prints and DTS prints, it can be possible that mixes are different - of course the analog track should use the same mix of the digital.
SDDS-6 IIRC used always 4 formats print.
