I've never used a 4:3 CRT that could deal with different aspect ratios like that.

Was the CRT natively HD, or SD? Was it zooming in on the middle of the frame, or letterboxing?

I don't remember the model. It was a Sony CRT that I bought for about 600GBP in maybe 1997?

Back then, there was no concept of SD or HD. PAL has 625 scanlines (~576 visible). No fixed horizontal resolution.
