The LD was a rip from the spleen. Given the information and pic associated with the listing it is most likely this:

There are some pics from the LD in the opener. Here are a few more. ...

Thanks for the extra shots and info!
(I had edited my original post while you were replying -- cross-posting, but just correcting my oversight.)I wondered if you had tried (or thought of trying) HSL separations of aligned Blu-ray (for L) and letterbox laserdisc (for H & S) sources to re-combine. I did see a little bit of a letterbox laserdisc ..

I haven't thought of trying that but that's sounds like a good idea, Spaced Ranger. So if I follow you, basically you the take the luma/luminnce from the BR which contains all the detail information and overlay the color information from the laserdisc. Does that sound right? I remember there was a AVIsynth script that did something like that. I haven't had much success using AVIsynth scripts in the past. When I first tried color correction, I used colourlike/colourlikeFBF and could never get the results to what I wanted. Is there another way to do that process? Clearly you are more experience in this area then I am, I still consider myself a novice.
I'm also using speedgrade a lot since I'm creating the cuts/edit file in Premier and it sometimes easier to send it to speedgrade since that feature is built into Premier.
