The "snap pans" in the 16mm print are a pan and scan attempt at showing the whole scene. Try running them side by side, and you'll likely find it's the same shot. Pan and scan can be less obvious to the eye when it's done on film versus a video master.

Yeah, it's basically down to the telecine operator how to handle it, so it can differ quite a lot between versions, especially on films in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Sometimes they even made cuts instead of a pan inside the frame.
