Business as usual: the Expanded Syndication Version starts with a recap, then the (regular TV) opening. (322.77 sec bzw. 5 min and 22.77 sec / no screenshots).
Some credits follow and then we se the entire final scene from the end of the first pilot one more time - starting with Oscar opening the door of the phone booth. (88.1 sec resp. 1 min and 28.1 sec)
Because this is only footage from the first pilot, I did not make any screenshots of that either.
Subsequently, the versions are back in sync.

Please note: it is very likely that the final scene of the first pilot is being repeated because it ends in the middle of the conversation. If one does not watch both parts in a row, one has the chance to watch the entire conversation in one piece.

410.9 sec resp. 6 min and 50.9 sec

Basically, the versions are the same here (Julian & exterior shot of the shp). But as often, the Original Broadcast Version fades to black while the Expanded Syndication Version does not. Resulting from that, the Original Broadcast Version is slightly longer. (no screenshots)

Original Broadcast Version 1.07 sec longer

Removed Scene / Alternate Footage
15:10

The Original Broadcast Version lacks an exterior shot of Lucern (3.3 sec). Contrary to that, the following shot of the driving boat is longer resp. it starts earlier in the Original Broadcast Version (1.97 sec). Then an exterior shot of the Contessa's property (identical in both versions). Subsequently, a further shot of the boat (1 frame resp. 0.03 sec longer in the Original Broadcast Version). As compensation, the following shot of the guy is 1 frame resp. 0.03 sec longer in the Expanded Syndication Version. Then the boat again (identical in both versions), followed by another shot of the guy (1 frame resp. 0.03 sec longer in the Original Broadcast Version). The shot that shows the weapon getting loaded is identical, the shot of Steve and the Contessa getting off the boat is slightly longer in the Expanded Syndication Version (1 frame resp. 0.03 sec). With the following shot of the estate, the versions are back in sync.

Please note: since those are only differences with a few or just a single frame that neutralize each other (scene X 1 frame longer in Version A, therefore scene Y in Version B is 1 frame longer etc.), there are no screenshots - except for the exterior shot of Lucern missing in the Original Broadcast Version.
All in all, the Expanded Syndication Version is a bit longer (due to the mentioned additional shot at the beginning).

Alternate Audio Track / Removed Scene Expanded Syndication Version
21:44

The shot of the Contessa lying on her bed asleep contains alternate music. Also, the shot is 5 frames longer in the Original Broadcast Version (0.17 sec).


Moreover, only the Original Broadcast Version contains a little close-up of Steve's bionic eye (1.97 sec).


Please note: This additional shot of Steve's bionic eye is probably supposed to state the obivous: the room is dark and Steve makes use of his bionic skills in order to take a look around in the dark. Kind of redundant though because the image looks already green which makes it pretty clear what is going on.

When Steve has left, the Original Broadcast Version instantaneously shows him in the car. The Expanded Syndication Version on the other hand continues with Dr. Bergner in her hotel room. She is sleeping. To be more specific, she is dreaming resp. she sees the memories of the dead guy again. Then a shot of the pier. With the shot of the car coming down the hill, the versions are back in sync.
