Apparently a new company now owns the rights for the Leone films, and a few months ago they published a new edition of A Fistful of Dollars which included an English audio track and restored the original opening/ending credits; if another dvd of "For a Few Dollars More" comes out it will probably include that cut scene in the original aspect ratio.

It's an Italian DVD of For a Few Dollars More I own, it isn't 1.85:1 but around 2:05:1 & non-anamorphic (The cover lies though saying 2.35:1 anamorphic!). I've had to put black bars down the side of the picture to match the 2.35:1 footage, looks pretty seamless so far and not too distracting.
If a better Italian DVD comes along with the scenes I need in 2.35:1 I will re-do this particular project but I'm making do for now
