I believe Subsanity from Fallen is also a Nefilim out-take.

There are also demos of some of the album tracks in the wild which include alternate takes: Chaos, Sensorium and a very metal Zoon. There is the unreleased track Red 777 too.

I can see the files on a p2p network and they are the same size as the originals.

It would be unlikely that the album gets a remaster and is not brickwalled; said process would increase their file size noticeably . So I am inclined to believe these are original masters.

I'll download Penetration and the 12" bsides and compare.

Edit: Penetration is complete as per the original vinyl release. Nice.
The digital release is not brickwalled and I suspect the release is not remastered. No mention is made of this on the Beggars Arkive site either.

For what it's worth, it sounds vastly better to my ears than the old version; vocals seem more prominent, for instance, and there seems to be a more pronounced bottom-end, but maybe that's just my car. Apple Music claims it is remastered - it's titled Zoon [Expanded Edition] but every track has the words "(2024 Remaster)" added to the title.
