Does the 8mm resemble either of these versions??
Huh. That list was compiled by myself and Neil S. Bulk and was taken word for word from this thread. I wonder how it got to wikipedia.

Ok folks, there are two reels of 'Selected Scenes'. Basically its just a condensed version of ESB. I purchased a Super 8mm sound projector to watch them on.
Here are some of the differences, off the top of my head:
- Luke - "I don't pick up any life readings" - Different take
- Han - "I'm going back" - Different take
- More rebels of 'retreat' when Walker attack
- Leia "They're getting closer [star destroyers] - Different take - she stutters it twice
- Cloud Car pilots - Different line - will confirm with actual line asap.
- Leia "I know where Luke is" is replaced by "we must go back" or something similar
- C3P0 - new line just before "I thought that hairy beast would be the end of me" - It's something like "I'm glad we are back together"
- The frigate at the end looks decidedly different - i will have to check this.
So there is certainly another sound mix out there!

This is intriguing. I don't think I've ever watched one of those 8mm digest reels. Are you absolutely certain about those differences? Did you actually compare it with a DVD or VHS tape, or are you just going by memory? I would be very interested in an audio capture if you can get one.
