There is not any complete version, the tv channel only broadcasted 90 minutes as maximum in a special broadcast that included an edited version of "Tunnel Of Love" and "Solid Rock" with Nils Lofgren, that were originally left out from the 60' original broadcast, and later a "Expresso Love" version appeared I can´t remember from where, it looks like it was used as and advert for the broadcast, but that´s all.

Maybe you can get some luck writting to the channel, I think it was channel 4 who broadcasted it in 1985.
You might get lucky, now and then

Even if it does exist somewhere, I would imagine the tape has probably deteriorated greatly by now.  Speaking of tape,  it might be fun to guess what analog format it was recorded on. Probably U-Matic... or maybe Betacam?

Alchemy tapes were well restored for the bluray.

Yes, quality wise. But the person who decided to go 4:3 (on a Blu-ray for Christ sake!) should have been fired.  :disbelief

If it was taped that way it might be difficult to change it without compromising the image, who knows, I totally ignore about those tecnical things.

However, is not the same Channel Four who owns the Alchemy recordings?

I guess that if Universal / Virgin Records decides to release some day a special edition of Brothers In Arms, they could ask Channel Four for those Wembley recordings and release it on dvd, if they have the original recording without that awful analogic effects on the images, that probably were cool on 1985, but nowadays...

Wasn't Alchemy shot in super 16 argentic format ?
Whereas Wembley 85 is videotape.

I'm sure you're right.  It kind of has that look in any case.

Yes, those 80s effects!  Maybe had an influence on whether they were released or not.  At the moment they are retro!
