The best you can probably do is calculate how much you're losing on either side of the screen with 1.66 (which would be about 15:9) and see how closely the safe area matches it (by coincidence).
But you do know that S16mm was never (or almost never) projected as 1.66? You can't make a S16mm release print (no room for optical sound), and the blowups were standard 1.85 35mm, top and bottom of the S16mm cropped. There is an actual 1.66 aspect ratio (for 35mm), but it's rarely used these days.
