Looking at the picture with the three cars, you can see a bit of vignetting in the upper corners, so you know that it is wide as it can go and as high as it can go. The sky shows the same amount on both, but the pavement is cut off at the bottom on the 16x9. Assuming the 4x3 version shows everything top to bottom, all that missing blacktop would show up in my suggested version and the extra stuff on the sides would also show up. You are incorrect about the aspect ratio for 35mm being 1.33:1. It is 1.5:1. That is why there is extra on the sides that is missing in the 1.33:1 version.

Here is what my version would look like. I overlaid them in Photoshop, set the aspect ratio to 1.5:1 and content-aware filled in the missing parts, and vignetted the lower corners. The second link shows what it would look like on a 16x9 display.

Nope. Just because you can combine the two to make 1.5 doesn't mean that's everything what's on the negative, you're making the assumption that the 4x3 version shows the entire height of the negative as shot. It does not.

4-perf fullap or S35 35mm is 1.33. 3-perf fullap is roughly 1.70. 2-perf fullap is roughly 2.65. Horizontal 8-perf 35mm (VistaVision) is nearer to 1.5...but the main taking format for this show wasn't 8-perf.
