Restoring N64 videogame footage

Video is 1280x720 (apparently resized directly from the uncropped capture) at 29.9701 fps.
For some reason it looks fine up until frame 1661.

The system supports resolutions up to 480i (PAL:576i), but the majority of games use the 240p/288p modes, i.e. outputting the fields directly over each other, resulting in black scanlines but updated at 60Hz.

So I'd probably need to somehow find out the original height of the capture, restore the interlaced lines (PointResize?), and use QTGMC or simply SeparateFields.

Does that sound feasible? Anybody done that before?
