Here's something I hope is NOT an example, but my cynical side was
triggered.

The gemara on BQ 38a explains the mishnah which says "shor shel Yisrael
shenagach shor shel Kenaani -- patur." The gemara says that since they
do not keep the 7 mitzvos, hitir memonam leYisrael".

There is a Shitah Mequbetzes on BQ 38a this (#1, d"h Re'eih sheva mitzvos)
which says (off-the-cuff translation of the full comment):
     Mashma that all who DO observer the 7 mitzvos, their law
     [neziqin? dinei mamonos in general? with regard to us is our law
     with regard to them. And now there is no need to speak about umos
     hagedoros bedarkei datos venimusim (Meiri z"t)

It was edited out of the Oz veHadar edition, and therefore doesn't appear
in OvH including Mesivta, the OvH dafim used in Schottenstein editions,
nor even Sefaria (see
<https://www.sefaria.org/Bava_Kamma.38a.7?lang=he&with=Shita%20Mekubetzet&lang2=he> "No connections known for Shita Mekubetzet here.")!

:-)BBii!
