Perhaps a kind of feather might help to make it less apparent?
Have you ever worked with MVDegrain? It's a temporal Grain filter with up to 6 frames analysis (3 forward, 3 backward). Has done some wonders to reduce compression artifacts on some old computer generated graphics that were strongly compressed. It doesn't always work and it's quite slow, but you might give it a try; will probably need to duplicate the clip and only apply it to one, and then overlay them and play with opacity, because as the name says it not only removes artifacts but also grain. Then combined with your grainplate you might get close to the desired result? Maybe? Just an idea.
What about overlaying the Blu Ray for an increased sharpness in the center? Feasible? Or is the master and/or grading completely different?
