If it is standard definition and from the 1990's then the original
content is almost certainly in BT.601.  Now if you're referring to the
BluRay remaster, then who knows what they did.  If done properly I
would expect them to convert the colorspace to BT.709, but it's
possible they simply upscaled it without any colorspace conversion.

Because you don't have any reference pattern in the video (e.g. SMPTE
colorbars), you'll likely just have to render it in a couple of
different combinations, put them side-by-side, and pick the one that
looks the best.
