contents We consider the singular vectors of any $m \times n$ submatrix of a rectangular $M \times N$ Gaussian matrix and study their asymptotic overlaps with those of the full matrix, in the macroscopic regime where $N \,/\, M\,$, $m \,/\, M$ as well as $n \,/\, N$ converge to fixed ratios. Our method makes use of the dynamics of the singular vectors and of specific resolvents when the matrix coefficients follow Brownian trajectories. We obtain explicit forms for the limiting rescaled mean squared overlaps for right and left singular vectors in the bulk of both spectra, for any initial matrix $A\,$. When it is null, this corresponds to the Marchenko-Pastur setup for covariance matrices, and our formulas simplify into Cauchy-like functions.
