Is anyone familiar with this discontinued special run Walthers kit?  I need to know if it has the same number of conveyor sections (3) as the standard kit.

What was the deluxe part of that kit byway?  I never saw a difference between that and the standard kit.    Walters did sell add on conveyor kits.   I just build my own now.  I found it easier than trying to work with the added conveyor kits.    I do believe the deluxe kit does have the same number of sections.

Per Walthers:

For the finishing touch of realistic detail, this limited-run model includes resin castings to simulate the drive motors of the conveyors. There's also a resin model of the primary crusher where the rock is fed from the quarry to the main building. 

See picture:

I have not been able to find the instructions online, but Walthers does still show the footprint which leads one to believe there are more conveyor sections when compared to the footprint of the standard kit.
