Anyone know if there will be improved versions in stores from now on? Can I expect a replacement disk when I buy it at this point?

I wouldn't think so, it sounds like the new discs won't be produced until February

I've just bought this, how would I know if I've got the correct disc or not?
I don't know for sure, but I'd assume that the set only had a single print-run. So your best bet would be to contact Funimation and inquire.

I just looked at the 2 discs as I kept my duff one and they look identical as far as I can tell.

WMD is right the 2 discs are identical.
I would add, play the disc and if you see a message on the screen saying that your copy is a SDR version, then quoting WMD, you have a 'duff one' - you should ask Funimation for a replacement disc.
