I suppose that the version shared here is official, VGMdb currently has it listed as 'Enclosure'. The other versions you have are probably game-rips, Game-OST does have one in its database. Maybe someone could e-mail Mr. Lennertz, asking for some clarification on the source of this album? While I do own this, I've got my copy from a seller on eBay.... Didn't bother to ask him at the time.
EDIT:
Checked a .wav spectrum out of curiosity, the tracks on the disc are lossless-sourced. The origin of this is unlikely to be a game-rip, unless the PC version makes use of lossless tracks, of course.
Wait, you actually got a copy of the original soundtrack? What I have to know is this, is it 30 tracks or 12 tracks. From what I have heard, the "official" CD soundtrack is only 12 songs long. Actually, I personally have a hard time believing any official soundtrack exists. The only places I have seen any clue as to what the soundtrack is like are here:

As you can see, there is no official label or agency that this album is signed under. Also, there is no information in international music databases that indicate this album exists. And besides websites that post game rips, there is no more information about this soundtrack. But, if someone could post links to websites that would more solidly prove the existance of this album, I would be forever grateful. As for me, I have the unofficial soundtrack. I simply installed Gun PC version on my computer, went through the installation files, and got me the music.
(For those who care, it's located in the pcm folder as music_pcm. In order to decompress the PCM file, you need to use the towave converter. To do this, select the music_pcm file and click "open with" and select the towave converter and it will convert your files to WAV format. NOTE: Bundled in this are the cutscene sounds as well. You will need to manually separate the actual music from the cutscene sounds.)
The towave converter is located here:

NOTE: If the webpage is in Russian, at the top left box at the top of the page there should be two links that look like this [RU|EN]. Simply click EN and the page will be mostly english. Then just click Download at the bottom of the post next to the floppy disc icon. No installation is necessary to use this program. Just right click the PCM file you want to convert and click "open with" and chose the converter.
