The Byzantine Rite (Catholic or Orthodox) indeed uses a one-year cycle, but the readings are not identical to those of the Tridentine Rite

Yes I would expect the so-called Byzantine Catholics to use the same cycle as the Orthodox. But we were talking about the Latin Rite. The non-Laitn Rites are but 2% of the Catholic Communion. I would imagine that makes it "extra-ordinary" element in the Church, an exception rather than a rule compared to the 98% Latin form.

(Just what do the Orthodox read for the Feast of All Saints on November 1, Kosta? ;-))

November 1, according to which calendar? The one used by the minority which the Greek Church and other smaller Churches use so as to "conform" with the west or the Old Calendar used by over 85% of the Orthodox?

Well, neither the "New Calendarist" Orthodox nor the "Old Calendarist" Orthodox celebrate the Feast of All Saints on November 1 on anybody's calendar, which was my original point. >:-) They celebrate it on the original date, the Sunday after Pentecost.
