Here you are some test I've done; sources used are BD (the italian Blu-Ray - image is identical to US BD); DVD PAL (italian); ColourLike is an AviSynth script that tries to take the colors from a clip (from DVD in this case) and apply them to another clip (to BD in this case). From top to bottom:

  1. BD
  2. BD retimed by KingKong650
  3. DVD PAL
  4. BD ColourLike
  5. BD luma + DVD chroma

 

Here ColourLike script did a good job; as you can see, as in this scene the DVD is more cropped, in the last image (BDluma+DVDchroma) the colors "bleed"

Here, BDluma+DVDchroma is better than the Colurlike script.

Here ColourLike did a bad job, while BDluma+DVDchroma is good.

Using one of these two methods (ColourLike or BDluma+DVDchroma) it's possible to retain the BD resolution with DVD color timing; now, if the DVD color timing is right, this methods could be used to do a proper restoration.
