NTSC is actually a chroma-encoding system that is used both by the US and much of Latin America-- it's different from the region code system.
It's not uncommon for discs to have both Region 1 and 4 flags... but usually this is pretty clearly stated on the packaging. Looking at the seller's storefront on amazon, they seem to include in the title when a DVD is region 1and 4... but it might still be worth contacting them to ask them if Region 1 is listed on the back of the case.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
