Cropping a D-1 master from 720x486 to 720x480 and dumping to DVD (as is the case with the GOUT) does not result in an up-to-spec DVD.

I think it's fairer to say you just end up with a distorted AR than an out-of-spec DVD, but I know what you mean.  The distortion is baked in.

I think that puts a point on the question of what exactly this project is doing--a warts-and-all GOUT fixup (in which case distorted AR might be preserved), or something more akin to the actual theatrical prints (in which case they may want to skip right past the D1 master--which might have its own issues--and go to a theatrical print as the reference)
