Twilight may have lost to post crisis, but can she at least beat the version no one cares about? Speed equalized, abd both 4-C.

Define original. I presume you mean Golden Age Superman in the 50s who was only just starting to fly. My primary reference point to "original" Superman in this sense was the Max Fleischer cartoons.
Going by that I'd say Twilight, if not because I know a lot about Twilight but because early Superman is a wimp compared to later incarnations. Original Superman has very limited powers (if you're talking Action Comics #1 early, he can't even fly) and magic opens the door to so much versatility and hax.
Granted, its tempting to say "Superman is invincible!" because you'd never even see Superman get bruised in those days (which in reality was just in consideration for the young audience and censorship), but "original" Superman is surprisingly weak when you actually sit down and think about it. Action Comics #1 (you can read it online) states his durability as being "nothing less than a bursting shell can pierce his skin" or similar, implying he could be harmed by artillery, and Max Fleischer Superman (MFS from now on) was bulletproof but he could be stunned by grenades, knocked around by an 8-C laser, and beaten to the floor by 9-B robots. In "The Mad Scientist" he was also trapped by power lines for a minute or two.
A consistent theme of MFS is that he can be knocked around and stunned, but not actually injured in any sense. MFS doesn't seem to have a limit to his durability, but even assuming he's invincible (which if he's a composite of all early original versions he's not) he wouldn't be strong enough for Twilight to trap him somehow; in "The Magnetic Telescope" we see an upper limit to his strength when he can't push back a building-sized comet.
