Are you pulling on the back when you pull up on the darkslide? With my thumb and fingers, I "pinch" the whole back assembly so when I'm pulling the darkslide, that whole thing stays put back there. Sometimes I see people pulling the darkslide and accidentally pulling the back open slightly

This is worth investigating. A few of my dark slides have become a little bit gritty(tougher to remove). If the light is coming in from the top of the back then the pattern would seem to make sense. I do think it is probably from the front still, but I will be more cautious.
Thank you very much,
Sam
Was the film x-rayed? Just a thought.
It is always good technique not to pull the dark slide totally out but just far enough to fully expose the film. This way light can’t sneak in the slide slot. Especially with older holders!
If you don't pull them out and reverse them how do you tell which film has been exposed?
