I was wondering if there is still any unrleased SMiLE Material that exists on bootleg, but not on the Smile Sessions.

I was wondering if there is still any unreleased SMiLE Material that exists on bootleg, but not on the Smile Sessions. Hi, Mike. I'm no SMiLE scholar but I'll get the ball rolling. There's this for starters: OK, so these are more sketches for SMiLE than anything else but they illustrate an ingredient sadly lacking in the "official" release(s), namely the largely slapstick humour, which was such an important ingredient of the original concept. So what happened to the sketches? Well here's one at just after 16:45 in my go-to SMiLE fan mix (scroll down to the bottom): www.mixcloud.com/Mujan/aquarian-smile/

I was wondering if there is still any unrleased SMiLE Material that exists on bootleg, but not on the Smile Sessions. I definitely recall Smile collectors talking about things they had or knew of that weren't on the box at the time of its release. But I'm afraid as far as specifics go, my memory doesn't go back a decade and my Smile-obsession was already over by then, so I didn't pay that much attention to the minutiae. (If only it had been released a decade earlier...I mean, for my sake. My poor heart might have burst with joy.)
Which is a long way of saying, "I think so, but can't be of much help."
That said, I am guessing there is very little interesting or unique material that wasn't included. Most likely it's mostly just alternate, but very very similar, takes.

Off the top of my head:
There is "Barnyard" with the animal sounds and backing vocals.
There is the "doin, doin, doin..." backing vocal on "CabinEssence" without Carl's lead vocal.
There is a "Bicycle Rider" take with a very slightly different vocal finish.
There are more takes of Brian & Mike alternating lines on the verse of H&V.
Marilyn sings a few seconds of "Vegetables." Think there's more stuff along the lines of the version on the '30 years' box set.

I gotta pull out my bootleg Smile album and compare it to what was released.
