It seems the Break bumpers have actually been changed since the first set of the channel. There no longer have words and are just Logo on a background like the ones used for the idents.
Presumably they're still using the old 4:3 tapes they got back when UK Gold were still broadcasting in 4:3- remember they weren't in 16:9 until 2008.
They quite often showed 16:9 programmes as 14:9 as a 4:3 broadcast well after 2008, presumably because they didn't/wouldn't/couldn't get new prints for widescreen programmes.
