My scanner twain driver has no setting for sharpening. Perhaps it was the way photoshop saved to jpg?
Anyway, I re-scanned them at 300dpi and saved as lossless tif. Hope this is better for you.

If that’s not too much to ask - maybe you could turn off the USM/sharpening (the above are “cheaply over-sharpened”) and save the output of the scanner in a non-lossy format (TIFF for example) - this should make the cleanup and restoration easier and more effective. More or less “raw” scan output from a relatively good scanner at high (true optical) resolution like at least 300 is going to be best for this kind of work.
