I just took a few moments to check my collection: 12 Angry Men, Black Hole, Capricorn One, Something Wicked This Way Comes, are just a few that mention the aspect ratio, are widescreen discs, but are not anamorphic.

I will add to that Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, which says "16:9" but is non-anamorphic.

Just to pick the first one you listed, I don't see "16x9" anywhere on the 12 Angry Men packaging. The back says "Widescreen 1.66:1, Theatrical release formant."
