Didn't know that. Are there any outward distinctions between versions? I mean on the box?

Default UT didn't had patches, GOTY had 436 patch and bonus 1 up to 3 bonus pack 4 wasn't included as I had to DL it separately.
GOTY have a mod CD, but at the time very few people had internet and even knew about modding so the fact some of the most popular mods were on the CD was kind of nice IMHO
In Totally Unreal you have UT GOTY, RTNP and Unreal with their original CDs
They removed the packaged mods in Anthology (even UT2004 ECE had packaged mods) Anthology contains unlike Totally Unreal a DVD with all the unreals Unreal Gold (unreal 1 + RTNP) UT GOTY with all the bonus packs and with the old multiplayer services removed, Unreal 2 and UT2004 ECE without the packaged MSUC mods

Well, original retail release had blue box we all know. It had blue discs.
GOTY version had red retail box and discs were also in red colour.
Later GOTY versions were released in standard DVD cases and had grayscale discs (looked way cheaper TBH).
Some pics for comparison.

Nope. It was 432 which is just one step down from 436.
I know 'cause I have the GOTY edition and have installed it about a hundred times on different computers. Trust me.

Yea I had two different versions too. I didn't use the one with the old menu for very long though. UT GOTY was meant to have also the early tactical ops when it still could be pl;ayed on regular maps and was more like a mod than total conversion(imo i like the version that was meant to be included better than the even more counter strike like game what it has became).
Good to know and thanks for being so thorough! I have both versions then..that too is good to know!
So many colors...the Totally Unreal with the "first look" at U2 (NA release?) has blue-ish/purple-ish discs (with the 'first look CD, Unreal Gold and 2 UT GOTY CDs) while the Totally Unreal that has Unreal, RTNP and 2 UT CDs which are not GOTY (EU release?) has copper-colored discs.
Anyhow, off-topic...sorry.

Oh yeah that's right, I had mistaken a couple of the maps being from BP4, I just checked and they came in the previous ones instead.
I don't know about this. I made my own clientside Announcer sound package and shared it with a few friends where 2 of them had v432 and their game would crash with an error saying something about version mismatch from v436. After they ran the UT436patch they were able to use the sounds without any problems or mismatches when connecting to servers.
I asked one of the friends to send me his Announcer.uax file in order to test it myself. I edited the file the same way I did with my version and I was getting a mismatch from it when connecting to any server. I'm guessing that Epic did something to the GOTY Edition sound files to prevent mismatches as clients but they cannot be used with any previous versions of the game from what I found out. They probably did this so people can use multi-language sound installation without any problems. But, I'm not really sure if installing UT with another language will give you the sound packages with that language as well, so I cannot verify if that's the case in order to figure out this puzzling matter.
