"They sometimes include PE on older kits when re-releasing them." Yes, but really poor PE, not Tamiya worthy imo.
Tamiya re-issues differ in 'add-ons' but only time i know they actually changed/corrected a sprue was M23 engine one.
Lately they add PE as said, and from time to time they add alu funnels. In early days cigarette logos were included, but they're long gone. Some re-issues come without Goodyear reference although usually tires keep Goodyear as raised lettering on side wall except for 89721 'black box' MP4/6 which shows all side wall detail but the Goodyear marks. The 1st issue of MS11 shows nr 5 on box top, which was later changed to nr 6. Decals dito.
Maybe there are others, but these spring to mind.

Don't forget about the 003 Tyrrell. They did a completely different nose for the re-release a number of years ago.

(Yet) Again, the kit hasn't been 'delayed' at all. Hobby Easy have absolutely no idea when it is coming out and only use their 'release date' as a random placeholder so they can keep pre-orders open and valid. Their listed 'release date', as with the listed 'release date' at most online retailers, is totally meaningless and should be completely ignored.
As an example, Hobby Easy had the AMK F-14 kit listed as due 'in a month' for a good couple of years, duly pushing back the release date every few weeks. In fact, for about a year they had the kit listed as due 'in a month' when, not only had the kit not even been tooled, but the CAD wasn't even finished.
