I'm not an expert on this (and maybe there's one lurking on the list),
but if the content was telecined from film. there probably is a lens
system in the telecine machine that is used to select between 16:9 and
4:3 letterbox for 720x480 output.

So maybe the term "anamorphic" applies by association?

them, you are abusing the term anamorphic.

Hope that helps.
