you can sort it out, but it might be a slight headache. if you
de-interlace the footage, you'll have 25p instead of 50i. the original progressive frames (that the scanner made) will
have been separated into fields & paired into new interlaced
frames (which the lab handed to you as video footage), & you'll just be separating those frames & using them to
put the old ones back together. once you have 25p, you can just create a 24p project in your editing software, import the footage & re-interpret it to run at 24p. you can then output the final stuff as 24p, & get a lab to write that to film. it might create more headaches though when you come to slow down or speed up already heavily re-interpreted footage to recreate 18p etc.
if it was me (& i hate standing up to labs!) i'd get them to re-do it though, & avoid the above
