USA WB Oscar O-sleeve BDs aspect ratio question

What's the deal with the WB Blu-ray releases in the Oscar O-sleeve slipcovers? Are they new releases or are they the same BDs with a new slipcover?

I was checking out their Amazon pages and noticed that the aspect ratios of the original releases are different from those in the Oscar slipcovers.

Case in point: Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby, Gigi, and Amadeus all have 2.35:1 (or 2.40:1) OAR as well as original BD release, but their versions in O-sleeve slipcovers have 1.77:1 aspect ratio. An American in Paris was originally 1.37:1 but is listed as 1.77:1 for the Oscar release. Casablanca is listed as 1.37:1 in the UCE and 1.33:1 in the old single disc release as well as the Oscar version (not much difference here).

Are these Amazon typos?
