So, as far as I gather, the blended fields originated during a bad NTSC/PAL transfer.
No, there's nothing PAL about it. It was field-blended from 23.976->29.97, rather than being telecined. It stayed NTSC all the way. The base framerate is 23.976fps rather than 24.975fps, as would be the case had it started life as PAL.

I had my best luck with:

Yadif(Mode=1,Order=1)
CDeblend()
BlendBob()
TDecimate()

You can try another and slower bobber, but as long as field-blending is involved you'll never get it to the way it would have been had the DVD production company done it right in the first place. All those diagonal lines on the cars will always be aliased.
