In mostly-minus signature, adding the boundary term with to the subtracted Feynman gauge density changes to the displayed canonical momenta. For fields with vanishing spatial boundary terms, , whose functional derivatives are these momentum shifts. They depend only on coordinates, so is unchanged. The only potentially nonzero mixed momentum bracket is . Thus both density representatives define canonical commutation relations, although their momenta must not be equated componentwise.
