As for specific references to the original you're asking the wrong guy as I'm only somewhat familiar with the Beast King GoLion anime, not the edited Americanized version that was the original Voltron.

The show is called Voltron though, it doesn't need to appear in every episode but it barely even appeared and it's a show about a giant robot. The original theme never appeared and what made it worst is the music was super generic so you can't even say they replaced it with something better. The original show built a universe and this new show kind of went with their own thing which seems like a waste counting they had tons of stuff to work with that has been established in the mythos and just ignored for a blander version. I"m being negative but that's only because it disappointed me, it's fine but everyone called it the best thing ever and it wasn't and it wasn't Voltron.

Voltron isn't just an edited version of GoLion it really became its own thing and arguably much more interesting take than GoLion ever was. Sure the censorship hurts Voltron as GoLion was able to be a little more dramatic at points but then WEP ordered their own season in which many of the "edits" now became canon as we saw the soldiers being built as robots, etc. We saw the story continue with Vehicle Voltron and then having a team up with lion voltron. Not to mention it got two sequel series (Next Dimentsion & Force). So yeah more than a dub Voltron should be compared to Power Rangers and Samurai Pizza Cats were it took the source material from elsewhere but did its own thing entirely with it independent of what it was supposed to be.
