Note from 2013, web browser translation:
Leone researcher Claver Salizzato "recalled his operation to recover the missing 15 minutes in the negatives of the film Once Upon a Time in the West, to Tonino's disappointment because the scenes taken from the positive did not render the lights well."

Unsure what the above means. Sounds like those 15 minutes, in existing masters, are not taken from OCN or close-to-OCN material.

The 15 min of the longer version, which maybe came from a private copy Leone had stored for himself. Hmm, but actually these were less than 15 min.
