On the picture of the actual reels, those wraparound labels don't look modern. The info for reel 6 is shown, and it looks stamped on. It also looks like the ink has faded. And it says "Dolby Stereo" - I am assuming a 35mm print of the restoration would have Dolby Digital and possibly DTS?

As for color timing, Raiders could be like The Neverending Story, in that it more closely resembles the original color timing than previous releases, but is still problematic. There's an excerpt from a Derann print of TNES on Vimeo, and the color scheme resembles that of the U.S. BD, but like msycamore said about Raiders, there does seem to be a "broader spectrum" of color than the digitally graded BD. (The U.S. BD of TNES also has issues with crushed contrast that I assume weren't in the original timing either.)
