Look at genuine 16mm and the difference is obvious.

There were plenty of short leftover ends of 35mm movie film available. The
studios/unions(?) wouldn't allow a camera to run with less than a certain
footage of film in it.

The 35mm Leica was designed specifically to use them up. It came with film
cassettes you could load yourself and a template to cut the half-width
leader its bottom-loading film feed system required.

My uncle was able to find 8mm color film in New Guinea.
