Possible runtime corrections:
I don't own any of the above, but the runtimes sound wrong to me. Currently listed as 96:36, but all previous releases were uncut, and the UK Powerhouse Blu-ray was scanned from the original negative with a runtime of 93:39.
Perhaps the correct runtime for the 2025 Blue Underground releases should be 93:36. If they run at exactly 24.000fps, and if the older 2017 Blue Underground releases (93:41) run at 23.976fps with dropframe timecode, the runtimes would be effectively about the same (93:41 dropframe is approximately equivalent to 93:35 non-dropframe (this is calculated by dividing by 1.001)). All of this is currently just speculation on my part.
Alternatively, if the currently listed runtimes are correct, what is the extra 3:00 of material?
Can someone (probably Eric) please check this?
