They're close, but still a downgrade. IIRC the "then you'll know what Hell is really like" line was rewritten. Also Piccolo's "Goku, this time I'm gonna finish you up for good" line was rewritten into "Goku, this time I'm gonna wipe the map with your face."

One thing that's noticeable is the removal of a line. One of Kami's lines was cut when he is about to do his suicide charge. It's not especially noticeable with the replacement score, but since Kikuchi was silent at that point it stuck out like a sore thumb.
