Very interesting indeed... I just popped in my HD-DVD copy and sure
enough, right after 'Brought to you by MGM' appears the 'In Cinerama'
logo.  Later, towards the end, it says 'Filmed in Super Panavision®'
However, only Super Panavision appears on the DVD jacket.

True Cinerama was 3 camera / 3 projector, so  I can hardly imagine how
a 'true' Cinerama presentation could be derived from a Super
Panavision negative; and if so, what distinguishes it from simply
being Cinemascope?

Anyhow, I found this site, which sheds some light on the subject:
