Final tracks vs Rough tracks

I remember hearing in an interview that when they scrapped the album, they had three songs with final vocals and six with final backing tracks. It's safe to say that Fake Your Death was among them (it's mentioned as the last vocal G did), but what do y'all reckon the others could have been? Do you think we got them?

My guesses for the other two finished vocals are Dive and Wake Up!; though Falling Down, High Hopes, Paper Swords, and Into Your Arms seem like pretty solid contenders

The backing tracks to Operation Day, and Paper Swords, and Dogs sound pretty together; but again, so does Into Your Arms
