[FFmpeg-user] Crop, Scale, Pad without distortion

Why does padding (after crop/scale) seem to compress this video
horizontally?
Input #0, mpeg, from 'TEMP-original.vob':
Duration: 01:24:52.03, start: 0.287267, bitrate: 5841 kb/s
Stream #0:0[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg2video (Main), yuv420p(tv, top first), 720x576 [SAR 16:15 DAR 4:3], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc
Stream #0:1[0x80]: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 224 kb/s
The actual video part (not including black bars) is (704:416:2:82)
according to cropdetect.
I'd like to end up with a video that's cropped to 704:416:2:82, scaled to
720x-1, padded to 720x480 with black bars only on the top/bottom, and a
DAR of 16:9 instead of 4:3. Not necessarily in that order... I'm not sure
of the "correct" filter order.
If all I do is crop the video to 704:416:2:82 it looks fine compared to
the original (complete output below):
$ ffmpeg -i TEMP-original.vob -codec:v mpeg2video -b:v 16384k -bufsize 4096k -maxrate 30000k -codec:a copy -vf crop=704:416:2:82 -t 60 -f vob TEMP-crop.mpg
If I crop and scale to 720x-1 it still looks fine (complete output below):
$ ffmpeg -i TEMP-original.vob -codec:v mpeg2video -b:v 16384k -bufsize 4096k -maxrate 30000k -codec:a copy -vf crop=704:416:2:82,scale=720:-1 -t 60 -f vob TEMP-crop-scale.mpg
BUT, if I try to crop, scale and pad the top/bottom to 720x480, then the
video is compressed horizontally (complete output below):
$ ffmpeg -i TEMP-original.vob -codec:v mpeg2video -b:v 16384k -bufsize 4096k -maxrate 30000k -codec:a copy -vf crop=704:416:2:82,scale=720:-1,pad=720:480:0:27 -t 60 -f vob TEMP-crop-scale.pad.mpg
FYI. The crop/scale ends up as 720x425, so to get to 720x480 I pad top
with 27 (480-425/2 = 27.5).
Why does padding cause the video to be compressed horizontally and more
importantly, how can I convert the original to 720x480 with bars only on
the top/bottom, DAR of 16/9, WITHOUT distorting the video?

Complete output for all 3 example commands

Crop to "cropdetect" size (704:416:2:82)
This looks fine (via ffplay) compared to original - it is not distorted
$ ffmpeg -i TEMP-original.vob -codec:v mpeg2video -b:v 16384k -bufsize 4096k -maxrate 30000k -codec:a copy -vf crop=704:416:2:82 -t 60 -f vob TEMP-crop.mpg
