I was thinking the same, that a Japanese copy might feature perhaps more than one scene we didn't see in the US or the UK. I would like to see a bit more or Harker's demise or Dracula's demise.

The scene with the Harker dummy was supposedly very brief, to very quickly show a basic idea of what happens to a vampire when you kill it; a second or two. This gives us some idea of what will happen to Dracula when Van Helsing vanquishes him...

Dracula's disintegration scene still survives in the English language versions but trimmed down; there is at least one long juicy shot of Lee as Dracula with his skin starting to disintegrate-- as we have seen in photos but not in the movie.
