The two close ups in this sequence (POV of 3po and the wall eye) look untouched. The wall eye POV shot, R2's eye is quite red. Also checked the first interior shot but that's looks unaffected. That might make an interesting cut-up sequence, piecing together all the eye shots and centering them to see the color changes.

No doubt, They worked. If I didn't watch the film at the wrong speed would have never pieced these together. But because of the old transfer method the 'blackness' of this work makes these items stand out. (when knowingly looking for them) On the color scale these are much closer to a sharpie then a natural film black, so that's why i'm wondering if they did use a marker. They seem like after thoughts, there were on set shadow for the other posts in the Boushh shot, but the lighting didn't cast one so they drew one on, the reveal is three frames, so that's a quick fix and the Luke hand is the longest on screen.

I don't see why not. These don't have a good classification, so throwing out similars will give us a bigger picture to make judgements. Problem is defining where to draw the line between all those Sail Barge and Skiff shadows and these other oddities. These skiff men are more refined to their surroundings as they were on screen longer. and they don't appear as dark in the GOUT.
