It's hard to know whether the master is the same or not.View attachment 321519The Rolling Stones – Hackney Diamonds – Review – (Test: Vinyl record, Blu-ray stereo and Dolby Atmos trueHD, CD, Amazon Music UltraHD, Tidal MAX Flac and Tidal Dolby Atmos)

The master must be the same. The problem is later when it adapts to each support. If things were done right there would be hardly any sound differences, especially with these reduced DR and this kind of "noisy" music.
If they've done a good job, there's a different master that respects the characteristics of the vinyl.
The video doesn't take everything into account, and the only conclusion is that you can't know the characteristics of the master by getting the DR from the vinyl. The video is also an example of what can't be done to cut a vinyl record: analog is not digital, it doesn't support brickwall limiters.
For a better understanding, I've made some comparisons of the impact of limiter on vinyl burning and also on magnetic tapes here.
There was no such problem when masters were made with analog tapes.
It's not that simple to want to use an analogue medium cleanly.
