Thank you that just explained a mystery to me.

5.1DD is almost ALWAYS 448kbps.
My recent Little Mermaid restoration used the old DVD's audio (which according to sources is sonically identical to the laserdisc (and theater) release).
I couldn't understand why they had used 384kbps since, well, no-one uses 384kbps for 5.1.

That's a good reason, and even with the lower bitrate it still kicks the ass of that DEHT mix.
