Yes, the original superimposed Burr very crudely.  They tried to put
the Japanese woman (Emiko?) in scenes with Burr as well as in the main
body of the film, but when we see her with Burr, her back is always to
the camera so we cannot see her face.  And her blouse has a different
plaid!

At a science fiction convention I attended this year they had the new
Godzilla film as it was shown in Japan.  No English spoken (except by
American characters -- and then with Japanese subtitles) and no Raymond
Burr.
