The fact that these flaws appear on both German and French (and Spanish?) versions is almost certainly because they're from the same master tape.

They also appear on my US Faces discs, I guess then they would also be on the DC set.
The line in frame 22939 could be from a reflex or lights from the instrument panel.
The line in frame 20374 appears in four frames and clearly looks like a dropout of some sort, but how could the same dropout appear in both the PAL discs and the US discs ?
? - IMO not possible, the last frame containing the line is next to a cut and that would indicate that the line could be a horizontal scratch from the editing table and maybe it's been there since 1977.
