I don't know about any VHS release, though the cruddy German pan-and-scan DVD of dubious provenance that was the only way to see it for years didn't just drop the overture but was taken from a print missing about 45 minutes, while the Spanish DVD was a two hour version.

It is possible that the cuts to Cleo's dialogue might be referring to cuts from the play - which is truncated for the film even at roadshow length and rarely performed on stage uncut - rather than to the film itself.

That stereo track sounds great. It's a shame the disc is mono, which leads me to believe there may not have been anything else, and any 6-track may have been one of those rumored to be all mono.

I know there are some Brits posting here (Douglas R) that may have seen this in the U.K. in 1972, and can confirm any runtime and 6-track details.
