Which "Touch of Evil" shots weren't created with the Angenieux 18.5mm?

David, thank you as always.

My understanding is that the rear projection shots were forced by the studio into the film and against Welles' wishes.

Do you happen to know, or are you willing to guess, as to which lens they used for Dietrich's close-ups?

I would have to go back and check to confirm (and I may do so in the near future), but I believe I gathered it from one of the commentary tracks included with the special edition (Blu-ray) that they put out (it includes the memo of revisions Orson Welles wrote upon which Walter Murch based his changes), where the commentator went over the differences between the different versions of the film.
