That's really interesting! I've never heard of a beta version being released/leaked. I imagine those shots were a Fromsoft promotional preview of some sort. One picture looks like a group of items on the floor including the "Cross"- maybe it was a test room where developers could have easy access to key items from the game?
I remember that screenshots in the game manual don't match the final game so From was probably tweaking it right up until it went into production. There are also items on the gamedisk that weren't used in the final game (Dragon Crest). I'd love to know what they were going to be used for.
