Eggs & Deleted Scene in Director's Cut

So me and the Missus watched Alien again the other night and I took interest in the scene where Ripley finds Dallas and Brett cocooned. I never really noticed before but remember reading about people saying they were morphing into eggs, which I took with a pinch of salt. But if you look at Brett in this scene it really does look like he's turning into an egg, no mistake.

I wonder if had this scene been included in the theatrical cut we would have had Cameron still create the Queen for Aliens.
