Let's just say that it's a shame some stations can't stream. ;-)

With so many stations playing 7/4/70 of their own doing this week (hell, just in the last two days), I don't see where Premiere really has to offer it as a B offering at this rate. I'm assuming that Premiere did offer the first show as part of their tribute package (along with the year-end countdowns and the Kerri/Mike special) and that's where stations are getting it from.

Friday afternoon, KOKZ ran a version of the 7/4/70 show which I'm assuming is the version that Premiere made available to stations as part of this week's package. In the show intro, Larry describes it as "the very first broadcast of AT40, which aired on July 4, 1970". All four of the original extras listed on Walt Bailey's page are present in their original locations in the show ("Little Ole Man" by Bill Cosby, "Hello Dolly" by Louis Armstrong, "Spinning Wheel" by Blood Sweat & Tears, and "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones). There are three Larry-voiced optional extras ("Summertime Blues" by The Who, "Solitary Man" by Neil Diamond, and "Cinammon Girl" by Neil Young).
On Monday morning, WBBG ran a version of the 7/4/70 show which I'm assuming is the version that Premiere made available when it was run back in 2010. In the show intro, Larry describes it as "the very first broadcast of AT40, which aired 40 years ago this weekend, on July 4, 1970". All four of the original extras listed on Walt Bailey's page are present in their original locations. I don't know if WBBG usually runs the optional extras, or if any of the original extras were relegated to optional extra status for the 2010 broadcast, but the show did not include any extras other than the ones that were included in the original 1970 broadcast.
Last year, WMGN ran the 7/4/70 show as part of a 4th of July AT40 marathon. That was the first time I had ever heard this show. WMGN removed the Premiere voiceover intros from the shows they ran as part of that marathon, so I don't know what the intro to the version they played sounded like. The version of the show that they played included only two of the original extras ("Hello Dolly" and "Spinning Wheel"), and no other extras of any kind; WMGN does not typically run the optional extras.
Questions:
What were the optional extras when this show ran in 2007 and 2010? Did Premiere re-edit the show and/or change the optional extras for the 2010 broadcast, or for this year's broadcast?
Can anyone explain the discrepancies between the handling of the original extras in the version that WBBG ran on Monday and the version that WMGN ran last year? Was the version WMGN played from 2007, and the original extras were handled differently between the 2007 and 2010 broadcasts?

If the show aired in 2007, yes if would have been changed because Ed McMann would have done all the intros for it then, not Larry Morgan.

I don't know about 2007, but in 2010 the Premiere optional extras for the 1970 AT40 debut were the same as the one currently being played. Incidentally, the original Bill Cosby extra was deleted that time.
Speaking of optional extras, is the version of "Two Tickets to Paradise" played in this week's 1978 show the single version that was then usually played on AT40, not the album version usually heard since?

That's a bit odd. Casey and Finch debut this week with their last 2 disco top 40 hits and neither one are ever heard again on AT40 with a disco hit. Because both songs are gone by the time the next regular show is done.

IT WAS THE FULL 45 RE RECORDED EDITION

Even though it came out in 1983, it would not have sounded out of place in 1978!
