As long as you provide contact information for where you completed an activity, any adcom could simply contact them. That being said, they don't have the time to contact each and every applicant's references so there's somewhat of an honor code in place

Why not make sure the supervisor is aware and in agreement about those extra 50 hours (and whatever you were doing during that time)? Or make a note about the extra 50 hours in your narrative?
