this is more what I was looking for. To be honest, at first some of the shots on the left look "more correct" than those on the right which often seem too yellow or green tinted.
But again, that's probably because I'm used to seeing the THX colored version which had the best contrast levels of any transfer.
Seeing an older transfer with level adjustment so it doesn't look so murky really brings out an alternate view of how the film could or should look.
reading this thread has also helped sort through what might have been the original look
