The evolution of these during production is interesting. The approach to the claw doesn't really change much at all, except that nearly every cut save for the final calls it the C.S.S. Tiger Claw. Most of the preliminary titles are also green instead of blue
The Concordia Battle Group one doesn't change too much, but the time to earth changes a bit. The scene got shifted back and forth a bit in the edit so in some versions it's 10 hrs from earth, and in others it's 12 and so on.
The pegasus attack at the beginning of the movie probably morphs the most in some ways. Some of the early edits start with a fly-over of a destroyed Pegasus and then flash back in time to the attack. The final cut of the film is linear and so does away with a lot of the supertitles

The Concordia battle group title near the end of the film doesn't change much. The final CG shots are a different angle versus the preliminary animatics, but the title doesn't really change other than it goes from being called a "battle fleet" to "battle group"
The most interesting supertitles in the rough cuts are the ones that got completely eliminated with the loss of the traitor cut. There's a number of establishing shots of the Kilrathi fleet that got excised from the movie because they were lead-ins to scenes that never made it into the final cut. It's a shame because it would have helped sell the size of the Kilrathi threat but it also helped keep the ticking clock of the plot more in mind during the more character heavy first half of the film.
In his first one you can see that work was done to bring the scene past the early pre-vis version
The second one would have happened immediately after Blair and Angel first encounter the Concom on their reconnaissance mission
The third would have been shortly after the decompression scene. The Kilrathi Admiral sends the Pilgrim traitor to the concom to transmit the jump coordinates to the fleet for the jump to Earth.
There's a final couple of deleted titles on the Confed side of the coin too. There's one that only showed up in a single early cut of the claw before the jump to the Ulysses Corridor, and then there's one from the end of the film that is a sad loss... I don't know why it was cut, but it was likely to save money on a costly render but quite a bit of work was done going from previs to active production. There was originally a shot of the confed fleet where Blair is brought in tow to Tolwyn's ship
And that's it! I think they're neat, and maybe nobody else does, but that's ok. It's a fascinating look into the evolution of the film from pre-production to post. A lot of the CG shots in the movie were mocked up in pre-vis and used to fill in during the early edits of the film and replaced as finished or newer versions of the shots came in.
