Check the window frames and you'll see that the shot has been 
overshifted since the edges of the window frames are not parallel.  I 
tried loading your image into PS and correcting with PTLens but when the 
window frames were properly aligned the walls enclosing the stairwells 
still appeared to be diverging a bit at the top.  I finally concluded 
that the difficulty with this shot is  some sort of optical illusion. 
Even though the walls appeared to me to be diverging at the top a 
measurement showed that was not actually the case.

Incidentally, I see that PTLens has distortion correction data for the 
24 shift (none, half and full shift) but not the 35 shift.
