Why not? All the reissues that have been analyzed _with the exception of the YouTube clip_ are sharp of A=440Hz and faster. It looks to me as if someone slowed-down the clip before posting to YouTube in order to bring
it back into correct pitch.

That is correct. The YouTube version is both slower and lower in pitch than the reissued versions that John Marks wrote about.
