Hi:
I don't think this is a repro...and I have seen some cels
with registration holes like that....The 1st time I saw it
was my own Sailor Saturn cel when I got it directly from
an extremely reliable dealer who got it from the studio.
While wondering why the holes are like that...then it hit
me....it only look strange if you see that as a whole
cel...Imagine it is originally a pan cel (over-sized cel),
then the studio for whatever reason cut it in half.
And you got the left size of the half...I bet you if you
try to match it with the anime, there is another character
on the right side...And from the way the anime is filmed
you can also tell if the cel was originally a pan cel as
well.
But however all the other cels like that I've seen only
have sequence number if the cel is from the right half
and no numbering if its from the left half....which seems right.
But your cel is the left half and yet it has numbering...
I think your cel's numbering maybe originally wasn't there
but was put in later on trying to show it has a number like
on the right side (so that way cel collector at least knows
what # sequence it is from at least)...
Hope this helps a little (rather I'm right or not) ^_^
