When Challenge acquired those early episodes they had to remake the entire credit sequence for them, as the original was a three way split screen between the credits, the studio and a teletext/telephone number, and it was completely unusable. It was discussed in the blue place somewhere.
IIRC that music theme for the credits first time round isn't the same as they used on the opening titles, its a different "variation". Which probably wasn't clean, so Sky had to find an alternative solution. I know Millionaire released all their music cues on CD but that doesn't mean Challenge would have been able to use that.
