Yes, Mac, you are absolutely right... These are the same 'Pet Sounds' vocals we know so well, just remixed.

What impresses me is that, for the early sixties, there is little or no "bleed-through" or whatever you engineers call it, from the backing tracks -- great isolation. Of course, by the time of Pet Sounds, they could afford the very best LA studios.

To hear a little more "bleed through," listen to "God Only Knows" from the same remixed a capella album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_Z-6p7Hag4&feature=related

You can hear just a little of the backing tracks at about 23 seconds.
