Missing Scenes for American DVD?

I saw this film in parts a while before I bought it and I'm sure it was the original cut because it was in Finnish without subtitles and I had no idea what was going on besides knowledge of the conflict. I later ordered the DVD and now own a copy with English subs and I distinctly remember a few scenes that aren't in my copy.

Such as Ylli by a river carving a bird out of wood. Then later when he dies I think they place the finished bird with all the fine details on his body or coffin. On my DVD you see him hacking at a slab of wood here and there and then later he gets hit by shrapnel in the woods and that's the last you hear of him.

Another scene is where Martti is running through that same wooded area I believe and there's artillery going off all around him but the scene is devoid of sound (from being deafened or possibly just for draumatic effect), similar to the end during the final barrage of the war, and he goes over and through craters and logs and stuff.

There are probably other scenes that are missing that I can't recall. Has anyone else noticed this? Why would they take these scenes out, is it to cater to a different market? Because personally, as a Canadian (might as well be American) I think the movie isn't as good without them. Maybe I wouldn't think that if I had never seen the original scenes to begin with though.
