Fixing light leak sprockets on scanned film photographs

Question

Hello adobe community,I've just come back from an adventure through India - armed with my trusty Pentax. But  when I reached the last frame of a film roll and went to wind (not knowing it was the last frame) I accidently tore the film from the spool. CRAP! At this point I was in a tiny shack nestled amongst the Himalayan mountains. I waited for it to get dark and clambered into my sleeping bag head first, I opened the camera and got the film out with little effort and rolled it so it would fit into the plastic canister. But at this point some light must have seeped in. I've finally now just gotten the film developed and it was almost fine, except for what looks to be some type light sprocket discolouration? Help?

At least on this image, the damage seems to be confined to the red and green channels. since the surface of the water is otherwise fairly monochromatic, you might be able to do something with a Channel Mixer layer.

Thanks Semaphoric - this was my end result.
