Bromide Drag or X-ray damage?

I was suggesting a light leak (likely very low level) after the film is in the developing tank, not one in camera. However, I see only the faintest hint of the bands in this version, and I can't be sure it wasn't in the scene (it doesn't run through the sky at the top). On that basis, I'm going to drop my suggestion of a developing tank leak, and gang up with the others to suggest it may be unevenness in you scanner's light source. Can you make an optical print of the negative? That'll tell you everything.

Here is a copy of the negative digitized using a DSLR. Poor quality but all I can grock right now.

Sometimes I think I can see it, sometimes not.

I did have light leaks from the back but very seldomly and they always looked like a small jet of light starting from a corner and going up to the center. Never seen this pattern before.

I don't; I ran the image through GIMP really quickly and boosted the contrast so that any banding would become painfully visible, but there really is none that resembles the banding issue in the first post. So probably it was just a scanning artefact.
