    Those dark lines are visible where there is light shining through clouds of steam, so it might be related to the steam The second example (in the shed) doesn't have any steam though, and those have to be something else. I'd like to see what increased agitation and attention to preventing drying marks would do for them.

    I would stop using the hangers and switch to shuffling through the stack. When I used hangers, I always had serge (surge?) marks on my film. Not saying this is the issue here, but try it without the hangers and see what happens.

    Agreed. There is visible waviness in the grey spaces of the second picture (probably in the first as well, but more prominent subject structures camouflage them). And there is a kink in the first. Hangers are hangers, best used submerged in a nitrogen agitated tank, and not really a tool of choice for tray development...
