Whatever Browning's vision was, it certainly wasn't confined to the script as Melford's version was, so why use it as a guide to determine Browning's 'true' intentions - assuming he had any other than what we actually see realized in the film? If we reconstruct DRACULA in an attempt to create a version that is faithful to Browning - whatever we think we know that is - then going back to the final shooting script shouldn't enter the picture.
