There were 2 english dubs of Asterix and the Big Fight The UK version and the US version
Gaumont somehow opted for the US version as the definitive dub of Big Fight even though it bastardizes the plot and names because of this, The UK dub is lost
^If you want to talk about lost Asterix films, there is the adaption of Asterix and the Golden Sickle which was left unfinished (all that exist are some screenshots).

Wow! By Teutates and Belenos! Where did you find them?
Oh yeah, there is also the first animated Asterix and the Big Fight that was being made along the first animated Asterix The Gaul film and the Golden Sickle. But the authors hated how those movies looked (especially because of the cheap 12 i/s animation) and ordered the two sequels destroyed, although they reluctantly agreed to have the first one released.
A lot of animated adaptations of French-Belgian comics in the 1960s were quite cheap. The Belvision Tintin cartoons were infamous for this... and there's a reason the first Smurfs cartoons are not widely available. Honestly, when even 2000s Flash cartoons look more lively...
If you're referring to the celluloids for "Asterix and the Golden Sickle" film, they were on a now defunct English fan site for the series. One of the members on there attended the convention personally and snapped some pictures of the celluloids.
I remembered they existed and had to go digging a bit to rediscover them but as you can see, they are the authentic deal lol
There was also a cancelled live-action adaption of Asterix in Spain - apparently Albert Uderzo and Anne Goscinny felt that the script for the movie didn't capture the franchise correctly (a similar complaint Uderzo had about Mission Cleopatra).
