When MGM prepared their HD master, they borrowed the director's print (which I believe was used for the Moore Video US tape release from which the German DVD sourced its cut footage) and retransferred (and cleaned up) the cut footage in HD. It's not part of the HD master but the clip was designed so it could be dropped into the cut version (including some in-context footage before and after to try to smooth over the quality difference).
