Yes! I think so! It's not quite the same as the example (note that in the example film, they both lost width, but gained height in the 4:3 version) but seems to be along the same lines and is perhaps just a variation. Interesting that Kubrik used this technique. Do we know what the intent of using it is? I'd guess it's so film makers can focus on the full academy ratio when filming, but not have to worry about cropping for the 4:3 version (back when that was a common ratio for home released).

DA.

Open matte is generally used for 1.85:1 films but not 2.39:1.
