Alot of times, brief scenes are cut from the film in post production and would usually be included in the trailers. Its not just brief cut scenes but in some cases alternate angle shots of existing scenes.
For instance, in the Japanese trailer for King Kong vs Godzilla, you can see an alternate angle shot of Godzilla and King Kong trashing Atami Castle during the climax. You can also see an alternate angle shot of Kong swinging Godzilla around by his tail. There is also a shot of Godzilla spraying his fire (a distance shot) during his attack on the Arctic military base that was snipped from the final cut of the film.
I suspect that was the case with Jet Jaguar blinding Megalon with his eye beams. If I recall there was a shot of Jet Jaguar (in the Japanese trailer)growing giant sized while he is standing next to a dam that wasn't in the final cut of the film.
As for that supposed scene of Megalon and Gigan talking to one another, and Antonio pondering, I seriously doubt those scenes existed or were filmed, but who knows.
Remember when it comes to the Wkipedia, take what you read with a grain of salt unless its cited.
