~~As for nuke vs photoshop, well PS has no true plus operation the closest it comes is screen, so it's actually not possible to put something back together in PS~~, it will do for a quick job but it's not a true compositing application.

you are quite right Linear Dodge is a simple l1 + l2 operation so plus, can't believe that slipped my mind i'm getting old DO'H, and there are of course ways to unpremult an alpha in PS as well it's just a PITA I'm not trying to put anyone of PS user added image

I've no real experience with fusion, but i hear good things so...

It looks like you have physical sun and sky for this, which may add an additional gamma correction of 2.2 for your camera via an mia_exposure_simple node, I think. Checking in Maya 2016.5, it doesn't appear to do that anymore, but that could be my setup. So I believe with color management on, you would get double the correction, which you don't want. Either disconnect the exposure node from your camera, or turn the gamma correction to 1. I hope that's the solution.
