After some fun in trying to download the file, I have finally had a chance to do a frame by frame comparison to the UK GOUT. Overall there are 322 missing frames and 420 extra frames. They are as follows (absolute fame number in video file of start of incident):
22 missing frames from the beginning
1 missing at frame 29669
10 missing with 9 filler at 30712 (reel change)
6 missing at 40079
13 missing and 1 filler at 59519 (reel change)
33 missing at 81164
10 missing at 81662
10 missing and 85 filler at 90873 (reel change)
177 missing at 112204
13 missing at 120268
13 missing and 83 filler at 121585 (reel change)
6 missing at 122873
8 missing and 169 filler at 150226 (reel change)
0 missing and 73 filler at 179731 (end of film)

Other things of note: End credits are different from GOUT. The stars don’t align with the text the same way and the roll of the credits doesn’t match (though they do end at the same time). Reel 3 doesn’t match. It is too orange compared to the others. Some of the missing frames are in the middle of the scene with the action almost matching so it is hard to see without comparing it to a complete version.

That completes my initial assessment. More to follow as I watch it a few more times.
