Looked again and I still think the "master" is broken. As noted in the
track it's size may be an issue by its self (as 420 interlaced would
normally be divisible by 4).

Ignoring that it seems that it has been converted/generated incorrectly
for 420 interlaced. The chroma has bled between the fields so even
something simple like yadif=1 alone produces corrupt output.

If you don't have access to better/"real" masters I don't think you can
get good results from this.
