I believe some of the films are:
The dam busters
Tora! Tora! Tora!
The bridges at toko ri ( not sure if I spelled this right).
some of the stuff is documentary footage of japanese zero fighters vs allied forces.
even earlier cuts of the films had preliminary storyboards thet would cut to, by joe johnston etc.
plus the temp track music was on there, and by the way the lost cut was originally in color, but only exists now in black in white. But the color dailies exist, the proof is certainly there.
watch the trilogy documentary on the official dvd and you will see what I mean.
if someone at lucasfilm actually cared they could carefully reconsruct the edit from the archived dailies, or at least offer them as supplements on dvd and leave the rest to us fan editor's.
But just like the oot trilogy lucas consider's this a rough cut, and wanted it buried and never publicly released.
Just like they will not publish the screenplay drafts, or story treatments. even with the petitioning of such sites like starkiller ( the jedi bendu script site).
