The answer to your earlier question a little better, then...
As for "why is the Apostrophe(') album version of Pancake Breakfast only
a minute and 50-some seconds long?" the answer is simply "because that's
all the longer the composition is"
As for this version, they presumably performed the entire "Yellow Snow"
suite, but "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" was left out of the program.
Therefore, this presentation consists of "St. Alphonzo's", "Father
O'Blivion" and "Rollo".
As for why did FZ not record and release such a similar version, he did
-- You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, Vol. 1 The first disc ends with
a 20-minute track entitled "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow", which consists
of all 5 parts of the suite as performed in 1978/1979 -- Don't Eat the
Yellow Snow - Nanook Rubs It (+ audience participation) - St. Alphonso's
Pancake Breakfast - Father O'Blivion - and Rollo. This particular
recording comes from London, February 1979.

I believe all 5 parts of the "Yellow Snow" suite are listed, and the
tracks indexed accordingly.

But it also contains "Father O'Blivion" and "Rollo", which aren't listed
on the screen :c)

One may have never been recorded. There are a lot of songs released in
live versions that were either never recorded in the studio, or PROBABLY
never recorded in the studio (but we may never really know for sure.) FZ
didn't do very much studio recording with his band after the early 80s,
and so many "new" songs from, let's say, 1980 and onwards that appear on
live albums, or which were recorded live and placed on various other
albums, most likely weren't recorded in the studio.
