I might ask you what makes you so sure you know the original frame count? Do you know within a margin of 6 seconds the original PAL length?

Anyway. Is 24fps film 24fps on an NTSC DVD? No, it's 23.976fps (after being Force Filmed, IVTC'd, or unblended back to its base framerate).
Is 30fps video 30fps on an NTSC DVD? No, it's 29.97fps.
By the same token, a 25fps PAL source becomes 24.975fps on an NTSC DVD (after being unblended or "IVTC'd" back to its base framerate).
