What I found interesting is the first snapshot, which shows super 8 film with the Technicolor logo, from Technicolor, which appears to not be a part of the rest of the reel for sale ...

but oddly, it appears that the Technicolor super 8 film is faded, which you wouldn't have with proper Technicolor film ...

You're thoughts, ladies and gentlemen?

I don't know about that one but some Technofilm labels had the Technicolor logo on (some people said these were the best) so I suspect in later years their labs produced prints on normal stock.
Having said that one Bugs Bunny film I have by Tedhno does have colour fringing like an out of register imbibition print but another copy is OK. So who knows what they did, most think there were never any 3 strip Super8 prints.

The edge marking visible in the the other images are clearly Kodachrome, circa 1970. Perhaps Technicolor offered Super 8 processing for a time and spliced a snipe on the front. Pretty cool, really.
