The copyright notice mismatch is suspicious and the missing items is a dead giveaway away and should have made it ineligible alone.

I would agree with you but SDA is very picky with what they will accept as evidence against a video, since the changing inventory doesn't affect anything it could have been a mistake in replicating the segments when optimizing the run, but would not actually have affected things. In the end it was a combination of the inability to reproduce the level with item drops and the impossible end fight that got them to decide to pull the record.
