I have a print of this feature as well. It came on five very full standard 8mm reels. The film stock is "S Gevaert Belgium 1S", so this would place it somewhat earlier, as I don't think Gevaert Belgium has been used for quite awhile.
It is in plain while boxes with "The Lost World" and the stars names written on the boxes.
I Don't Know who "Griggs" was, but perhaps this person or company manufactured this print.
All the reels have VERY full original leaders to them, and there is no film company markings at all, just the title and which reel it is.
I must say that I was VERY impressed with the contrast and grain on this print, the sharpness was also very good for a silent print, but the negative also had a greater amount of damage than you would usually expect, so I doubt that this could have been a DErann release, (at least, not mine.)
I don't know if any of my info helps.
