Posterisation would show up very clearly on the histogram as many 
missing levels.  Whilst the Minolta images that David has on his website 
have noisier histograms than those of the Nikon (which is consistent 
with the higher level of noise, grain and general crud visible in the 
image) there is no sign of posterisation in either the Nikon or Minolta 
histograms - even when cropped to small sections.
