That's what I do as well, so we're on the same page.  You have my sync script for the audio.  I'll write one for the video to help a potential/possible future project.

EDIT: The following assumes that the latest stable version of ffmpeg has decoded the VC-1 video on the UK BD in a frame-accurate way, which it does on a good day.  Of course, if you are on Windows, DGIndexNV or the MS WMV DMO decoder would be a better bet.  Needless to say, rendering the LD capture to lossless AVI before applying the script is advisable.

Code:
ld=WhateverSource()
\.Crop(4,4,-4,-86) [*or Crop(4,4,-4,-134) to crop out the two-line subtitles*]
\.Loop(0,260163,260304)
\.Loop(0,253512,253513)
\.DuplicateFrame(253511)
\.DuplicateFrame(253209)
\.DeleteFrame(253072)
\.DeleteFrame(253071)
\.DuplicateFrame(253070)
\.DuplicateFrame(252749)
\.DeleteFrame(252644)
\.DeleteFrame(252643)
\.DuplicateFrame(252642)
\.DuplicateFrame(251476)
\.DeleteFrame(251475)
\.DeleteFrame(250782)
\.DuplicateFrame(250781)
\.DeleteFrame(250411)
\.DuplicateFrame(250410)
\.DuplicateFrame(248541)
\.DuplicateFrame(242625)
\.DuplicateFrame(206395)
\.DuplicateFrame(165660)
\.DuplicateFrame(165659)
\.DuplicateFrame(153531)
\.DeleteFrame(153529,153530)
\.DuplicateFrame(153403)
\.DuplicateFrame(152465)
\.DuplicateFrame(152464)
\.DeleteFrame(139984)
\.Loop(5,139983,139983)
\.DeleteFrame(139938)
\.DeleteFrame(139896)
\.DeleteFrame(139852)
\.Loop(0,102005,102004)
\.DuplicateFrame(102003)
\.DuplicateFrame(101790)
\.DeleteFrame(101515)
\.DuplicateFrame(101247)
\.DeleteFrame(101246)
\.DuplicateFrame(101245)
\.DuplicateFrame(76599)
\.DuplicateFrame(72893)
\.Loop(3,72892,72892)
\.DuplicateFrame(34969)
\.Loop(405,1660,1660)
\.Loop(0,0,1659)

return ld

That should be it, although an adjustment here or there might be needed.  Auto-IVTC tends to throw a few curveballs here and there, but with luck I've got the worst of them.

EDIT:  Although two-line subtitles impinge on the active image area, I can't see any shots in which the color in the bottom of the frame differs markedly from the rest, so dealing with the subtitles by cropping and breaking the film into sections is totally doable.

The laserdisc seems pretty spot on:

a bit more contrast that's all is needed IMHO.

Yes. Although the LD preserves the golden look, my suspicion is that it is pushed a little too much toward yellow, which the comparison seems to confirm.

But with a little tweak it will be a good reference for a color regrading.

Just thought I'd do a quick test and run the LD cap through a Red Giant's Kodak print stock emulation.

That's certainly a decent result. It even sorts out the sky.
