To answer all the questions that were asked there, the answers are pretty much the same for this set as well:
Do the discs include a "Play All" function, or are episodes playable individual only? - It has both a play all and an episode selection menu per disc. No scene selection per ep, but does have some chapter points: after the opening, at the eye catcher, at the credits, and at the 'next episode preview' for each episode. I have included 2 screen caps below of the menu system.
Are the episodes cut from the original Japanese versions in any way? - Not that I am aware, there are not supposed to be any cuts at all. Even the music appears to be intact, and all the episodes have their 'next episode' teasers at the end.
This set is missing the next series preview at the end of the 50th episode though, and I suspect it due to Shout! Factory having already stated that they have no plans to release the next sentai series (Ninja Sentai Kakuranger). That doesn't mean it's cut though.
Do they have the original Japanese credits or English credits? - original Japanese credits.
