Yes, as stated on the wiki page you linked, those are the official Rec.601 and "common digital" PARs. They differ in less than or about 1 pixel, it is actutally the 702<->704 issue (702 no typo). 702 because that is the very exact active image area in analog PAL. The "digital" PARs assumes 704 which is fine as well, since the difference is too small for any practical application (however 720 generic 4:3/16:9 resizing vs. PAR/ITU based resizing is).

See:

720 * 59/54 = 786.66
720 * 12/11 = 785.45

and

720 * 118/81 = 1048.88
720 * 16/11 = 1047.27

Nothing to worry about imo.
