Hey there Lewis thanks for your quick reply!

The handy business with these files is that I do not require the audio from them, so I went with the first solution. To be completely honest, that was my inkling in the first place but I just didn’t know how to do it.
What I did do (for the sake of anybody else who stumbles upon this post with the exact same problem) was go into the properties of the clip on the Timeline and change the Undersample Rate of the 29.97 fps clips from 1.000 to 0.835. This brought it down to 25fps in terms of playback. I rendered out the individual clips under the same setting I’m rendering out the rest of the film in (25fps settings) and the result was perfect – no frame bleeding whatsoever. Flawless. The slow down was so minimal that, without audio to draw attention to it, visually it was hardly noticeable, so got lucky there! So crisis averted.

It was very unprofessional of me to assume the Kodak would be shooting at 25 fps in the first place, it was only when I had it on the computer did the File Properties notify me the clips were of 29.97 fps. But it all seems fine now.

Thanks again Lewis 🙂
