Solved! I think... Here's what I did:
I copied the only online image I could find of the R56 1-sheet from Bruce's image archive. He sold one in 2007. Using Photoshop, I cropped the image right to the borders. Then, with "Constrain Proportions" ticked in Image Size, I adjusted the width to 27". Constrain Proportions automatically adjusted the length of Bruce's image to 38.8". Thus the 1-sheet that Bruce sold three years ago was approximately 27"x38.8". Even allowing for any slight distortion in the photo and/or the online image, I think this is close enough to indicate that the original R56 1-sheet issued by Disney was indeed 27x39.

Almost everything about it is correct: the art , 56/77 NSS number (no "R" in front of the number, though), Buena Vista logo, machine folded. Two curious things about it: First, it is printed on glossy stock. Was Disney ever known to print 1-sheets on glossy stock in the 50s? Second, it measures 27x39 and doesn't appear to be trimmed. Is it possible there was a repro issued of this poster in the 70s or 80s and that's what I have? If so, I can't find anything that matches it online. Anyway, if anyone could help me out with this, I'd appreciate it.
