K3 Ultra Converted - footage question

[Aristeidis Tyropolis]

Hello to all the boffins in the forum.

I have a question for my footage. As you can see on the lower left part (on top of the lower perf) there's a reflection that actually (probably) belongs to the preceding or proceeding frame (not sure which). When changing the gate and performing some mirror swapping (long story) I did remove a small black guard as I thought this would be visible on the frame Ultra16 frame.

Is that my issue or is this some sort of pressure plate weird reflection? Maybe shutter timing? 

Frankly it's not such a big issue as I may end up not using this part of the frame, is it remotely possible this is a development and/or scanning issue? On the other example (crop of left side on another frame) I can actually see the film code on top, wasn't that supposed to be more to the left or have I completely lost it?

Either way that's all..

Yes removing the small black guard over the pulldown claw can cause that. It is there to prevent stray light reaching the film through the claw hole too much

Thanks Aapo, will put it back. hopefully it's not in the frame
