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. ...

... I'm using davinnci resolve lite and timing by sight.

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 ..

.. but it was mostly the titles and nothing of your choice snapshots. Of course, HSL remixing only works well if both sources are not too different nor have crushed/blown-out video areas (which would require repair first).

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.

 Why not try a small section?

Well, I always try keep an open mind, so ask and you shall receive:

Workprint/International Cut/IC colored to WP

I did this very quickly so it might not be right on the money
