When it finally released those scenes, it was via home media, not the normal venue for its Doctor Who stories. And it made no effort to finish those scenes. Sure, Tom Baker provided context-through-narration, but the serial never went back into production and the scenes were presented as unfinished.

That's what a deleted scene is. That's entirely your own opinion — there's little more then conjecture to support that this limited idea is enough to qualify the entire story as a deleted scene, particularly when the Beeb has gone out of its way to fit it into continuity again. If the narrative gaps are filled, then the narrative is complete.
