User Murp on the dutch 'FOK!' forum has used the deep-learning AI website https://colourise.sg/#colorize to colourize one of the photos.

The result is a subtle but impactful colour rendition.

Why do pictures of older times always seem better?

No trash everywhere.
No long lines of people everywhere.
No selfies...

This week I scanned the last photos and uploaded everything today.

Great set of images! Based on our previous exchange regarding the type of camera, this defect looks a lot like one that can occur winding 120 (or similar sized roll film) onto a stainless steel roll. I know the type of camera is really not that important, but wondered if you ever did measure the negative size as you alluded to previously?
