Neither do I, but this Movie Score magazine articles preceeds it. The Wiki entry is taken almost word for word from this article, not the other way around.

Lets face it, we won't know unless one of us tracks down a 70mm print and takes a look. But this is the next best thing.

Thanks everyone for looking into this further.

70mm versions:

#1 - THE ADVANCE CUT (The likely intended sneak preview/extended & different test cut - low # of prints)

Edmonton, AB (Canada) Start of this thread.
Chicago, IL (U.S.A.) Maybe. Amazon claim provided by Laserman.
Germany Claim provided by Laserman.

This Advance Cut might be the same as the one shown May 6th, 1980 @ Fox Studios.

#2 - THE UNFINISHED CUT (The majorty of the first-wave engagements & the "less complete" version)

#3 - THE EXPANSION CUT (The second-wave engagements released on June 18, 1980 & June 27, 1980. Likely used for all future re-releases)

I'm sure many here have given this a glance or two. This was a fun read for me. I'm convinced that this is one of the shooting scripts & pretty much the the 1st. key to advance cut of the film without a doubt.
