Do the Paramount+ Star Trek episodes have missing scenes?

Paramount+ splits some episodes like Encounter at Farpoint, All Good Things and Caretaker into two 45 minute long episodes. Does anyone know if the split episodes are missing any scenes?

I'm asking because IMDb says this about Encounter at Farpoint:
The two-part version, which is the one usually shown in syndication, is missing several short scenes. One scene cut has Riker being shown a recap of the Enterprise's encounter with The Q.
Syndication is not the same thing as streaming so I don't know if Paramount+ is also missing these scenes.
 
I've always seen the scene where Riker watches the same episode we're watching :D
But the scene with Picard and Beverly about her choosing this post was never shown on TV, and I only saw it on P+ much later.
Same with the old Q scene in AGT, it was shorter on TV.
 
If they're split, I should think it is the syndicated versions, as those are the only versions of the episodes that exist as split.

Kind of odd they have them as split episodes, to be honest. The DVD/Blu-ray releases always included them as the original 90 minute version and I know the Canadian outlet of Paramount+ includes the 90 minute version of episodes from other shows that were done as extended length "double bills."
