TMNT The Movie Original Version

I remember that when I saw Turtles 1 in theatres, there were at LEAST 2 scenes that were cut and have never been seen since. (by me)
1. When Shredder is standing in front of an audience of potential Foot
Clan, a red carpet is rolled out toward Shredder and 2 potentials run up
to challenge him. They fail miserably. This all happens after the black
cape thing is removed from his shoulder pads.
2. After April's apartment burns down and they move to the country house,
the Turtles go to a field to train. Originally the scene was longer,
Donatello was rolling a piece of hey in his mouth like a toothpick while the training continued. I think he was standing in front of a fence or something.
I am not the only one who remembers these scenes, 2 of my brothers also
remember them.
I just want to know if anyone was aware of them and if anyone heard
about them being released on a different version DVD, maybe the laserdisc?
If we could find someone with a New York bootleg from when the movie was
in theatres, it would surely be in there.
I bought the VHS right when it came out years ago, and the first print USA DVD release.
I wonder if Laird remembers this.
Anyway, I just wanted to see if anyone else remembered, because this has been bothering me for over a decade!
Thanks
