Something has just popped to mind, when BBC did experimental 405 line NTSC colour tests I am guessing (correct me if I'm wrong) that 16mm B&W kinescope films would of been made of those experimental casts. If it were true, I wonder if there might be a better chance (if a NTSC colour recovery program was made) of recovering the chroma off them films if the films were recorded to the same frame rate and there is patterning from the monitor?

Theoretically, I suppose so-- however, the evidence I've seen appears to indicate that any kinescopes that were made of the after-hours BBC test broadcasts would only be of 16mm test footage and slides (as those were the sources that were broadcast), rather than actual programming, so I'm not certain there would be too much to gain in looking for such telerecordings... assuming they exist.
