And in my opinion the change in this point is very visible too, especially on a calibrated screen:

And these pics are a nice example - they are clearly inconsistent but should I change the one on the left to look like the one on the right or vice versa?

My personal taste would lean towards the colour-timing of the one on the right, because it's more white than the left one, which has a blue/cyan tint but I think the left one is closer to the original, so I'll probably go with that.

The pic on the right looks closer to the production photo, and so is probably more naturally photographic, but the left pic is definitely closer to the film's actual colour timing. The reason I say this is because it distinctly reminds me of the 70mm film scan of this scene, and also of the GOUT's appearance when its saturation has been increased and the red shift reduced.

The original films did seem to have a somewhat blue tint in some places. As has been pointed out, this is very different from the hideous cyan which the 2004 transfer pasted over everything.
