Dream Drop Distance models found in Birth by Sleep Final Mix

Unexpectedly, files have been found inside Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix which appear to be from the demo of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. These files, which are models of various characters as well as the logo of the demo, were found inside Birth by Sleep Final Mix's data. Thanks to the community at XeNTaX who discovered this, as well as user "Key to Truth", who created screenshots of models, samples of this can be seen below.

Apparently, Twilight Thorn was also found, adding to the view that these are remnants of the earlier Kingdom Hearts 3D demo shown at E3 2010. As the files remain in Birth by Sleep Final Mix's game data, yet did not appear in the final version of the game, it is implied that at some point, Square Enix may have intended to include a playable Kingdom Hearts 3D demo in Birth by Sleep Final Mix, yet the idea was scraped.
However, the inclusion of both Xehanort's Heartless' and Xemnas' models, who both appeared in the 2011 Trailer of Dream Drop Distance but not in the E3 2010 demo, suggests that either a completely new demo was planned to be included, or simply that Square Enix is using the Birth by Sleep engine to render Dream Drop Distance trailers.
Although it is unknown why these files are included in the game's data when they do not appear in the game itself, it is not unusual. Similar occurrences have happened in the past, where Toy Story character models were found in Kingdom Hearts II, sprites from an unnamed Pinocchio world were found in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and maps of a The Jungle Book world were found in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. All of these ideas were eventually scraped.
