I recently got a large pack of darkroom paper, and with it came a pack of Kodak film. I asked my Dutch darkroom friends already who knew this film, but sofar I haven’t yet met anybody that is familiar with the film. Anybody on this forum that knows Kodak reproduction film? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210527/5553c5627873906ad41872f8204ca266.jpg

Kodak made many, many specialized graphic-arts films over the decades. As this box has been out-of-date for fifty years, I can't say that I'm familiar with it; my experience with EK's lab films started in 1977.
I'm not familiar with its metric sizing, either; the film may have been made at Kodak's plant in France.
A semi-educated guess is that it will be slow, designed for high contrast, and either blue-sensitive or orthochromatic. Given that, it may not be totally fogged.
You should ask Bob Shanebrook, who was involved with film design and manufacture at Kodak for many years. You might be able to reach him through the website for his book, makingkodakfilm.com.

This document, in French, describes the use of Kodak Omnigraph, among other products, for reproduction of documents via contact printing:
