Here's a brainstorming posted to psych0fred's website over the past few days of what the five-class system could have been:

This isn't far removed from what they had in the final game so I would wager this was after they decided to drop the sixth claxss. Seems even once the Officer was removed, they kept the Rebel Spy in the Scout role instead.

That might explain why the Rebel Sniper had a disguise kit in the PS2 demo.

I remember there used to be a version of the Battlefront 2 conversion mod that added a section to the game talking about cut content. Among the things I recall were:

The Naboo: Theed City and Geonosis maps being completely different. Theed had a different floor texture and the grate in front of the palace wasn't there. Geonosis had a core ship prop in the background and possibly the SPHAT would have been around. It was also more of an open plain, a bit like the EA Battlefront 2 version. If you look at the preview vids for both levels in the game, they show the original versions of these maps. Kamino also might have had vehicles and might have been bigger.

Command posts were different, and your team's command post would glow blue like in BF2.

It seems like the clones' colors weren't nailed down, as you had clone snipers with black markings, a blue jet trooper with the infantry class' gun and a sniper rifle in the trailers, and the aforementioned red jet trooper on the back of the box.

The rebel pilot had white gloves and boots. The Bothan, imp officer, red arc trooper, and an IG-88 type droid were cut or replaced with different models. There was an unused bazooka model that might have belonged to the Rebels.

The rebels had their own version of the speeder bike (which could hold 2 people) and different hover-tank than what they got. Both were featured on the official Battlefront 1 website. They would have also gotten the K-Wing.

The AT-ST in early screenshots, trailers, and demos looks a lot more crude than in the final version. They almost look like the version that appeared in The Empire Strike Back.

I recall the Battlefront 1 website also mentioned an "Episode III" planet being in the game, but no planet from Episode III (Cato Nemodia, Felucia, Mustafar, Mygeeto, or Utapau) ever appear. It's would not have been Kashyyyk, as Kashyyyk was confirmed early on alongside the "Episode III" planet.

There might have been stuff from Pandemic's The Clone Wars video game that would have been transferred to Battlefront (like the Separatist GAT and Republic AT-XT), as I believe both games used the same engine. I not so sure this is true, though.

There is this Battlefront wiki page which shows some of the cut content I've mentioned:

There's also this old youtube video from a guy who has both the Xbox and PS2 demos of BF 1:

It's kinda amazing what didn't get included in the game.
