Well, if you read Hammer's analysis of the 1.77:1 version using different framing for different shots instead of a constant matte throughout, wouldn't you have thought they'd do the same with the 1.66:1 version if they approved of that method?
Their argument is that the technology to reframe like that wasn't available in 1957 so it would have had to use a constant matte throughout the whole film, so it's entirely logical to assume a 1.77:1 version from them would be cropped even tighter.
