Problem with Fujica G690BL negatives

Update: I've taped off the opening (top and bottom) and shot a test. Taped off the whole back and lens mount in different shots, so far I can no longer see any signs of this in any of those test shots. I suspect the opening was the culprit, be it reflections off of the edges where felty cover rubbed off, or light leaking through the dark slide opening somehow. I'll leave some examples at the link below.

^ For what it's worth, I ended up doing the same thing to my Frankencamera, could not
seem to locate the source of the leak,tacky, yes. But cheap and easy. My Iskra 1 was much harder to seal, liquid tape on the inside of the film roller area around some rivets.
And of course the best part of all this was I never put a test roll through any of these cameras. ( Mama used to say "don't be smart")

ps; photos look good
 
Well, for those who interested, it was indeed the darkslide opening at fault. It was leaking light. Once I taped it off with gaffers tape it's all gone and peachy.
