While the director's cut may be fake there is always the possiability that Lelouch is still alive, refer to the points about immortality and a geass code above. What's more is that the person driving the cart in the front, still may actually be Lelouch even though the so called cut, may be edited, and here's why. C.C, whenever she begins to monologue like she does in her final statement about geass, is always talking to someone else, be it V.V or Lady Marianne in C's world. Refer to C.C's wiki page for conformation of this. In her final thoughts about Lelouch and his geass she directly states his name in a final, direct question to him, implying he is alive. There is a shot near the end where the camera shows the shoulder and small portion on the cart driver, but not nearly enough to prove who it is. To me this seems to be a subtle wink/implication that he really is the cart driver. Combined this with the fact that it is never showed how C.C gets on top the cart and that the driver isn't alarmed by her speaking a few meters behind him. If C.C had snuck onto the cart then the driver would have been suprised would he? So how did she get on the cart? did she just ask politely or did someone allow her to get on. It really all comes down to your interpertation/analysis of it. The ending was like the ending to Inception, it's what you make of it.
