Yeah, it's a censored version of the original film. The film was cut by 10-15 minutes when it was first submitted to the BBFC. The reason there's not a bigger runtime discrepancy is because Penthouse smoothed over some of the cuts with alternate, softer footage.

I'm pretty sure Drafthouse didn't realise it was censored when they scanned it, lol. It's also a rough-looking theatrical print, despite Unobstructed View promoting it as having been fully restored.
