just got my p33 in the mail, I looked at a roll and it has number 00002275, which says it's a roll of P30 from September '22, and the DX code is covered with a Ferrania branded sticker, presumably so if your camera automatically reads the speed you don't actually shoot at ISO1000. Indeed the top row of contacts is backwards, if you read it the other way it correctly reads 160, and the second row is correct.
The company that claimed to have made the Who Am I? website and presumably the tracking system to go with it seems like vaporware, which would make sense as they claim to be a blockchain company. Without finding the actual owner of roll #2275 I can't be certain but I'm pretty sure the whoami labeling system is no longer maintained and is now broken.
On the positive side, and as others have noted, these rolls all came with proper expiration dates and batch numbers! 2026 is pretty pessimistic about the shelf life of the film, but I think it's probably good sense from them to be very conservative with that kind of thing especially because these emulsions are so young. I think these batch numbers are accurate, because the very last valid whoami code I can find is 000079FF, which was a roll of orto from batch #252, while the rolls of P33 I have are all from #315 and #317. I expect the the missing 60 or so batches are some measure of P30, smaller P33 test batches, and whatever else they made in that time, but at 60 batches hopefully a lot of that went onto store shelves because that's about 30k rolls of film at full production. To date, Ferrania have made somewhere around 170k rolls of film according to the batch numbers and the whoami system.
