Is the new UK Blu-ray Steelbook released yesterday the Director's Cut?

I think it must be as it has a RT of 132 mins listed whereas the original BR is 126 mins.

The new CGI special effects created for the Director's Cut were made in SD and have to be redone in HD and Paramount doesn't want to spend the money YET to create them in HD so I guarantee you have the Theatrical Edition.

I agree with Inspector81 that it will be the theatrical cut. I checked my BR from my box set purchased a few years ago, run time is 132 mins and is the theatrical cut. I have the directors cut on region 1 DVD and that has a run time of 136 mins.
I suspect that the 126 mins on your BR is an error on the back of the box, if you put the disc in and check I'm sure you'll find it's 132 mins. It's quite common for the region 2 DVD run time to be printed on the BR packaging in the UK.

I have the theatrical on blu ray from a few years back and it wrongly gives the run time as 132 mins...
