I am guessing that my first suggestion may be right, I think this is most likely an ex library print, but which library, and which country is open to debate, but I suspect it is an original U.S. print, as the U.S. has a large hispanic market, and U.8. used to make sure they had versions with a Spanish track (along with other major U.S. distributors I believe), so having a library print with English and Spanish makes sense, as they most probably made sure their hire prints were only used on very good machines, hence you'd need at least a twin track machine to play the Spanish track.

Hi,
when Kempski (Germany) retired, Derann took over his remaining stock and the negatives. Not to mention that Derann sells all kind of used features without having printed them... so Derann really could have sold that film some years ago without having printed it.
BTW: My print of "Moutiny on the Bounty" came with English and Spanish soundtrack (I bought it from a Spanish collector who added the Spanish soundtrack himself), my print of "Jungle Book" (the version with Sabu) came with German and English soundtrack (with the German soundtrack being added by the pre-owner), ... so having two different languages proofs nothing - especially when the print is done on acetate-based-stock where everyone could add the "balance stripe" at home with his/her juwel/hama/...-striper.
Jörg P.S.: Since the German diggest was sold by Piccolo (also distributed by Quelle under the "Revue"-label), I doubt that marketing managed to get the rights for the full length feature: http://www.super-8-hobby.de/rezent57.htm
