Glass Plate #3 found in Tourist Camera

I've bought this "klapp"-type 6x9 camera (Turist by LOMO/GOMZ from 1935) couple years ago and suddenly found its cassettes are loaded with plates. Recently reading some old books on photography I thought I have enough skill now to try developing them. Well, three of them gave some image, though two were pretty alike (man's photo seated at the table). No idea what is on the third - supposedly part of landscape. Supposedly someone was just trying photography, perhaps when the plates were already outdated material. There are a lot of fingerprints and other unwanted marks - supposedly from the clumsy loading of plates. Developed in D-23 controlling visually by briefly switching red LED light.

    @klawe well, I suspect even old photographic plates may be to some degree sensitive to red light (moreover it may come in different wavelengths) - so I only turned it for few seconds, perhaps, after every couple of minutes, and far enough from the plates. Later create very dim handheld "torch" using few LEDs, suitable resistor and battery. Lord's Prayer reciting greatly helps in timekeeping :)
