The Kodak frame numbers appearing were a known issue for some batches
of TMY around 2015/2016 from memory. It was due to a change in the
backing paper. The issue was fixed, but I am sure there are plenty of
films still out there from the problem batches.

Thank you Hauke for the comments. Mechanical cameras like the TLR
allow to expose a frame for hours without worries about the battery
life. I did not think the heat could be the cause for the "
Watermarks" but I can't discard it after you mentioned it.. I always
try to avoid the heat on the film but I couldn't assure it didn't
receive heat. Anyway, X rays can cause some strange effects on the
film and these slight watermarks are limited to the first frame only.

The Rollei red filter:

That's a nicely balanced shot, making good use of the square format.
I like it.

Nice! An application that TLRs are rarely used for. Again, the square
format works to advantage.
PS: The stars trail photograph shows some slight "watermarks" with
the words "Kodak 2" and "Kodak"; it's evident that X rays printed
some film paper back letters on the film itself. They only affected
the first frame.-
Interesting... You are sure the film wasn't exposed to heat?
I see the same effect with a batch of 127 Maco roll films (really
relabeled Efke). They were stored in a larder that tends to heat up
to 40°C in summer, and I found them too late. Only suitable for Holga
style photography now, I am afraid.
Cheerio,
