Can confirm that the easter egg is also available on Disc Four of the UK Special Editon Box set. Runtime of the easter egg: 1:38

Go to the Extra Features menu and highlight the "If You Don't Know Me By Now" option, then wait. When the photocopier on the left activates press Left to see outtakes from the filming of the 'If You Don't Know Me By Now' video. (1:38)
