1. Aspect Ratio is 1.56:1.
Technically, the image as a whole fills the entire 16:9 screen. However, the actual movie image is windowboxed within this i.e. has large black borders on all 4 sides. The width of the movie image is the same as a 1.33:1 frame, but it does not fill the height. Overall, the movie image aspect ratio is about 1.56:1 (i.e. the currently stated 1.66:1 is incorrect).
This information should be updated in both the "Aspect Ratio" and the "Notes" fields.

2. Total runtime is 88:08.
This consists of the following:
00:00-00:25 text card:
The following presentation of AUSTRALIA AFTER DARK
contains recently discovered footage never before released in
America, perhaps the world.
Unfortunately the only existing master of the extra footage
contains a visual timecode. We hope this does not interfere
with your enjoyment of this fully uncut version of the film.
00:25-87:58 movie picture and audio
87:58-88:08 audio (music) continues over black image
Therefore, the total runtime is 88:08, with the net runtime for the movie, including all the audio, being 00:25 shorter at 87:43.

3. The runtimes will also need updating on the following 2 pages:

source: I own the UK Severin Films release, but I assume the American Severin Films release has identical specs.

1. "Not Quite Hollywood Out-takes" runtime is 59:03.
(This is already correct on the other 2 pages for this release, but on this page is currently incorrectly written: 59:0 on both US and UK releases.)
I can confirm that both this extra and the trailer reel are SD.
2. The aspect ratio is now correct in the Aspect Ratio field for the US release, but still needs to be updated for the UK release, and also in the "Notes:" sections for both US and UK releases (currently they still state 1.66:1).
3. The total runtime for this movie is 88:08, although the net runtime is 87:43. I will leave it up to you whether to update it from the currently listed 87:42, although my understanding is that normally the total runtime is the one used in this database. If you do change it, it will need to be changed for both US and UK releases on all 3 pages, perhaps with a note regarding the opening 25 second text card in the CUTS section.

Re: Australia After Dark (1975) Blu-ray UPDATED
The aspect ratio still needs to be corrected (from 1.66:1 to 1.56:1) in the following 3 places:
1. Blu-ray ALL America - Severin Films [2016 Release] :
Notes section:
"...this version is 4:3-pillarboxed and 1.66:1 letterboxed." -> "...this version is 4:3-pillarboxed and 1.56:1 letterboxed."
2. Blu-ray ALL United Kingdom - Severin Films [2017 Release] :
Aspect Ratio: 1.66:1 -> Aspect Ratio: 1.56:1
3. Blu-ray ALL United Kingdom - Severin Films [2017 Release] :
Notes section:
"...this version is 4:3-pillarboxed and 1.66:1 letterboxed." -> "...this version is 4:3-pillarboxed and 1.56:1 letterboxed."
Everything else appears to be correct now, including on the other 2 pages for this release.
