Seattle Film Works sold respooled movie film. It wasn't horrible but it also wasn't C41 process or intended for standard photofinishers' use. It was designed for printing onto movie stock for a positive and no one had the setups for it.
I don't know what John's customer had, but I'd just call them and see if they would come in with the index print again so you can identify the frames. PITA but weird stuff happens... !
