your restoration work did not add any additional copyright, there is no

Since restoring an image could include some amount of creativity, a
restoration could be copyrightable. Certainly, there are people claiming
copyright on digital restorations.
But since Durova didn't claim copyright on her restorations, didn't even
mention herself anywhere on the image description page, and did mark the
images as being in public domain, I don't see how could any reuser be held
responsible for not mentioning her as the restorer.
(I have only looked at the image at
