To me, it looks like your CRT photo is somewhere in between Dolphin and the PC port in terms of how things wide are, so I don't think that simply stretching to 4:3 is correct. Maybe it's the case that if you were to flatten out the curvature of the CRT, it would look rather similar to Dolphin?
It's not quite that simple. The GameCube outputs some black pixels at the beginning and end of each line (inside the active area) which Dolphin skips outputting, and those have to be taken into account when you determine how wide the TV makes each line.
