I'm not sure that I properly understand your question. If you mean the the 35mm reel would be the same length then we cannot be certain until someone examines a 35mm print with the time code on. If I had the money I'd try to buy one and check it out, but I don't so its academic at this point.

I've just checked the numbers for ESB and I'm showing each reel to be shorter than the times you have posted (unprocessed), all are SMTPE Film Sync 24fps time code (mm:ss:ff):

R1T5 = 21:38:03
R2T5 = 20:12:01
R3T5 = 21:55:01
R4T5 = 21:54:23
R5T5 = 20:04:23
R6T5 =  22:14:03

I guess I was wondering if the times I posted were the same as each reel of 35mm film for each movie.  The numbers you've posted might be totals without those extra change over audio bits at the beginning of each reel.

This stuff can be so hard to verify.  You'd figure there would be some websites where this info would actually be available no matter how "useless" the info might be to some.
