The Shout! Factory LE and UK releases, which use the 4K restoration of the film, also have a new scan of the deleted scenes. However, on these releases the set of deleted scenes are shorter because Scene 7 does not have the first 90 seconds that was included on the Shout! Factory AE and German releases.
In addition, the audio differs. Scenes 1, 6, & 7 are silent on all releases. Scenes 3 & 4 have full audio on all releases.
For Scene 2, the Shout! Factory LE and UK releases are missing audio from the second half of the scene, while the Shout! Factory AE and German releases have audio for the entire scene.
For Scene 5, the Shout! Factory LE and UK releases have audio for the first half of the scene but not the second. The Shout! Factory AE and German releases have audio for the second half of the scene, but not the first.
