This is reminding me tangentially of some of my finds when poking around in Star Fox Adventures's data. Is anyone here good at figuring out file formats? I've found where the music data is stored, and a C header they forgot to delete suggests that music from the N64 Dinosaur Planet is still there in the .wad file that contains the complete soundtrack. Maybe the music is in a usable format once it's extracted. Here's a ZIP with the music data files.
There are some interesting finds elsewhere, too. It looks like most of the removed Dinosaur Planet content is gone (directories for places like Discovery Falls and Diamond Bay are either empty or missing completely), but there are some interesting things there - listings of game objects, bosses and areas that include all of the removed areas and bosses (including General Scales); part of the Dinosaur Planet era script, awkwardly find-and-replaced for names ("I am Fox McCloud, Royal Knight of the Lylat System."); and some Dinosaur Planet voices.
That last one is one of the most interesting because it's something I can actually do something with! They're from the Swapstone Hollow voice directory (/Streams/SSH). It includes incidental dialogue for all of the dinosaurs, who make references to Randorn, Warlock Mountain, Willow Grove, and other deleted areas, and cutscene audio for meeting the Swapstone. That last one includes music multiplexed into the audio, using the N64 Swapstone theme instead of SFA's Warpstone theme.
