Those pictures I put up are screenshots from the version currently airing on the free streaming app Plex. Yeah, I'm guessing this is probably the Meridian cut. Oddly enough - as Ghost also noticed - it's exactly the same length as the Ivan Noel version. The few seconds taken from the bathing scene (where we see Malena running from the front) and the scene where she dives into the water from the tree appears to be filled with the brief scene we're talking about here. Showing her exposed below the waist is apparently a bridge too far for the US release. Frankly, I'm surprised they didn't butcher all of the nudity.

I posted that BTS along with the movie. But you can indeed find it on Ivan's YouTube acount here: making of THE TUTOR. The official Noel Films website no longer exists. It went offline around October of 2023. Needless to say, we won't be seeing any more films from them - even though there was initially a promise to continue with his work. This is the last (most recent) Wayback Machine copy of the site in case you're curious:
