  • You can get all the IDs using yt-dlp

    yt-dlp --flat-playlist --print id <playlist>

    Assuming you’re on linux, you can add >> ids_all.txt at the end to save the list to a file.

    You can also add

    --compat-options no-youtube-unavailable-videos

    to get only the list of available videos instead and then, again assuming you’re on linux, do

    diff ids_all.txt ids_available.txt

    to get the odd ones out. That’s the simplest I could come up with. You’ll have to hope you can use the wayback machine, or a good old exact search to turn up what video that ID actually referred to
