Somewhere in between may be the perfect mix.

I do not have photoshop on this machine, anyone want to make a hybrid shot?

If the images were better aligned, we could just take one image and put the other image over it as a semitransparent layer. Adjusting the opacity would then tell us how close to make it to which source (assuming we could find a range that looked good that we could more-or-less agree on!). Then we could try to figure out how to reach that target using only one of the sources and some adjustments.

The flag shot is badly misaligned and the sunset shot doesn't have any neutrals or skintones for even attempting to gauge "correct". IIRC there's another shot someone posted in the AVS forums with Indy and Sallah at lunch that would be a good gauge (and it also showcases the DVD blue problem). Having that shot and the flag shot aligned better may be useful, but I'm crap at such things. The sunset shot is likely to remain subjective, but I suppose we could run it through the process as a sanity check.

EDIT: Presumably we'd have to use adjusted WOWOW for the brightened opening even if we used adjusted Blu for everything else, to undo the loss of detail on the Blu. And then there's the matter of doing some sort of crazy Laserdisc upscaling for the erased effects scenes.
