Ah, that is a pity.
It may be worth glancing through An Index & Help Thread for Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases - though likely a long shot.
The OOT : The changes to the OT films & general OOT (1977 - 1996) discussion thread thread, too.
It is not something I can remember George talking about at the time - though other more knowledgeable members will hopefully chime in with their recollections (and hopefully with a link / article for you). 👍
If you do find the interview meanwhile, please post it up in here - it should be interesting to see/read.
