What’s interesting to note is, that aside from the fact the print has not been corrected yet, the colors on the print suggest the scene was shot during the day, while the Despecialized Edition’s colors suggests it was shot while the sun was setting. How do I know this?
If I correct poita’s scan with the algorithm (which essentially tells us the colors at midday), the colors hardly change, suggesting the scene was actually shot relatively close to midday:

The Despecialized Edition’s colors show a massive change however:

The color balanced Despecialized colors are closer to the print colors.
A production photo I found on the internet, suggests the scene was indeed shot at a time closer to midday, and is more consistent with the print colors:
