I always thought that GIF was of NT 4, not Win95, because the Logon box has a Domain field. Question mark ?

Windows 95 "login" boxes are provided by the network driver, which can ask for any fields it likes.

In this example it's definitely Windows 95, because "Setup MSN" is on the desktop at the end. This was never bundled with NT.

Win9x could login to a domain-based network...

The NT4 login dialog looks like those of NT3.51 or Windows 2000 (and XP Pro if you switch do a domain-based login). See e.g. the one of Windows 2000 (on a machine visible not jointed to a domain) here: https://old.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/uyau0h/is_it_som.... And AFAIK there's no way to bypass NT login dialog.
