Not all PAL LDs are CAV.

NTSC's framerate is 19.88% higher than PAL, but PAL's resolution is 20% higher than NTSC, the differences near enough cancel themselves out meaning each needs roughly the same amount of space/bandwidth (I think PAL laserdiscs can squeeze a couple more minutes of video on than NTSC laserdiscs).
