According to the liner notes of the La-La Land CD of the original Japanese score, the main title theme heard in the U.S. version was taken from Hans J. Salter's score for 'The Golden Horde' (1951).

Thank you so much Paul for that info- now I will try to see if I can find any cues from THE GOLDEN HORDE. It may be a tall order though. I did find a compilation CD on line from Luxembourg that included the title cue (is that the one in question?) but I don't know if any are available for purchase.
