Has there really been much disagreement? Almost every post I've noticed seemed to agree that the top photograph was from the film camera, and the lower one was from the digital.
Reasons stated included the rather better white balance of the lower picture (AWB should do better than a film being used in lighting conditions it wasn't designed for), and the better perceived DOF of the lower image (although this has also been attributed to over-sharpening).
