Thanks for posting.

I left comments there -

It appears to me that this film was really badly faded, and the color restoration was very heroic but couldn't restore any blues or yellows. When the camera viewfinders are seen, they appear green. My guess is that they were the usual blue-white P4 phosphor, but the film, balanced for the studio tungsten lights, saw them as quite blue; the film then faded badly, and the restoration changed them to green.
