It appears light is getting into the camera body from both above & below the film plane. This is not happening in every frame but maddingly enough to spoil a day's shooting.
I thought at first the second curtain was bouncing at the end of its travel (B&W photo) but I can't explain the leak on both sides of the exposure.
Any suggestions appreciated.

The sharp edge of one of those leaks makes me think the swing back may be the issue. Have you checked and/or changed the light seals where the back meets the body?
