Was about to say the same thing. The standard 625 line frame (consisting of
one odd and one even field) has several sync pulse bursts (taking up 15 of
the 625 lines) to mark the start of the odd and even fields within.

Non interlaced PAL is only sending single 312 line fields which always have
the same sync pulses so there is no way a TV would be able to know which is
meant to be an odd or even field because they aren't marked differently.
Dave's TV must just be alternating between displaying it as an odd or even
field itself.
