From the info link:
Liner Notes for this copy: "This new transfer has been made from an original, undamaged, vhs (or videotape) recording of the BBC2 repeat from May 1982. Unusually, the Beeb screened the widescreen 35mm theatrical print with black bars at the top and bottom. When released on vhs and laserdics, this widescreen version was cropped severely at the sides to produce the full frame image. Here it is presented unaltered.
Although the film was shot at 24 frames per second, BBC2 aired it in PAL format at 25fps. For this disc it has been slowed down to 23.976 fps (my ripped copy says 29.97) and presented in a compatible NTSC format, this preserving the correct speed and pitch of the original. The actual picture has been scaled up to 480 pixels and encoded in anamorphic format so as not to lose any resolution"

It's amazing to finally have the "whole picture," but I'm very confused as to why the encoder converted it from 25fps to 23.976fps only to set it with a final encode of 29.97. It's the full image, but now it's (sometimes noticeably) jittery due to being given the wrong frame rate.
Due to the comment about it being "NTSC friendly," I can't help but think it was originally encoded as an IVTC NTSC DVD and improperly re-encoded without a pulldown.
