If an SBM is converted to s16, do the behind the lens filters need to be modifed too?

Hi all, I'm currently having my SBM converted to s16. While its away being serviced, I've been buying some missing pieces, such as the filter holders. It looks like the frame for the filter holder is 4:3, so it occurred to me that if the filter is pushed into place, it might block some of the expanded s16 gate. Can anyone confirm that this would be the case? Would I need to file the filter holder frame larger to match the s16 gate?

Though I can't directly answer this question because I do not own an SBM, I'm going to make an estimated guess and say, Yes, it would obstruct your s16 gate. You could save yourself having to do the extra work of modifying these filter holders and purchasing some screw on or 4x5's for a mattebox?

EDIT: Looks like Duncan has answered this. That's re-assuring!
