I don't think there are any audio/video evidence of her in the role. I was in London when CATS began previews, and they were giving away the programs because they list Dame Judi in the cast, complete with photo and bio. Elaine Paige was an insert.
(I grabbed a handful, still holding on to them.)
As for "Apparently Memory was not in the show until Elaine was brought in! So Judi never had to sing it!" - I don't know about that - there was an orchestral 45rpm of MEMORY (orchestral only, but with reference to the T.S. Eliot "Rhapsody On A Windy Night" on the sleeve) also available as previews began.

She would have been the best Grizabella ever.
