The deleted scenes on the DVDs do not nearly add up enough to re-construct the workprint. The deleted scenes total about an hour, so re-instating them would make the movie about two and a half hours long. The workprint is four and a half hours.

Wow, Perhaps we could use all of the footage from the DVD and combine it with the workprint, yes there's a quality difference, but it would also be a telltale sign of what was never released.
