I'm not sure this answers Sean's question or not, but during the 1980s, when 70mm was used the most, I recall seeing countless 70mm trailers that I thought sounded spectacular, whereas, in my experience, most 35mm trailers during that era were mono. Many of those 70mm trailers were promoting movies that ultimately were released only in 35mm-mono. "Full "Metal Jacket" (which I saw with a 70mm presentation of "Lethal Weapon") and "Summer School" (seen with "The Untouchables") come to mind.
It would be interesting to seek out some 70mm trailers, such as those I just cited, and run them to confirm if they in fact had any stereo spread. It's plausible they were mono just like their 35mm counterparts (i.e. sound recorded only on mag track #3, the center channel) and what I recall may have been just the improvement in fidelity due to them being magnetic.
