Was the Ektachrome SO-160 film used on the lunar surface the same as today's Ektachrome 160T? T for Tungsten, I'm guessing.

I don't think so.  The Apollo film was the E-3 process, and I believe today's Ektachrome is E-6.

Did you ever find the original scans for A11?   If so, what is/was the format or the original digital images?

I haven't found them yet.  I recall they were TIFF files.

That makes sense then.  I along with BertieSlack have been attempting to tell expattafy1 that the Photoshop metadata file information does indicate that the file has been PhotoShopped.  Just that software converted the file to the jpg format.  A new idea to me, but not to the current Hoaxers, like hunchbacked, have posted nonsense on the YT channels. The only information file I could find was:

Discussing ANYTHING with expattaffy1 is a journey into obscene unreality.  Never have I have the  incidence of a rude nasty individual.

Kip Thorne mailed me about that. TIFF with colour balance adjusted as I recall. I will dig out the mail.

He is a particularly loony examples of a pretty loony set of people. Didn't he admit to having a stroke a couple of years back? It's very possible that his cognitive abilities have been impaired (certainly his eyesight seems to be a bit <ahem> strange). If so, then perhaps his family should restrict his Internet access as he certainly makes himself look like a fool.

Um, more or less ancient news to me before early in 2015, however, yes his eyesight is poor to non existent. Joan Evans posted a video that was concerned with Al Sheppard having only one leg as taffy had indicated on one of his videos.  She painfully showed him that the MET was blocking an image of his right leg.  I tried to continue and expand a refutation of his believe.  Then he started the BS about his foot had been Photoshopped onto the image. and ensuing the metadata file information.
To a casual, lazy individual that stumbles into the video may believe that information "proves" editing, instead of checking on the proposition.

More than 2 minutes listening to him waffle on about hinges or erections should pretty much convince the vast majority of sane people that expattaffy is quite a few slices short of a full loaf. The guy is a card-carrying, fully paid-up member of the lunatic fringe.

Five or six years ago, I had the misfortune of getting sucked into a discussion thread on another space forum and there was some guy going on and on and on about "William Rutledge" and that cursed Apollo 20 mission. This guy was the most vile person I have ever had the displeasure of being in contact with. Every other post was filled with assertions of homosexual behavior between other posters, bestiality intimations, incest accusations, and the vast quantities of illegal narcotics everyone else (besides him) must have been consuming, among other vile things. Several of us sent PMs with plaintive pleas to the board owner to intervene, and it was nine or ten days before Mr. Disgusting got the boot, all because the board owner had suffered a broken arm and was unable to come on the board.

Worst experience of my life. And another reason I desperately despise hoax nuts.
You don't "believe" that the lunar landings happened. You either understand the science or you don't.

This was Jarrah's experience at Yahoo back in (I want to say) 2004.  He was considerably intemperate, foul-mouthed, and rude.  He rebuffed other participants' requests for restraint, citing what he asserted to be his prerogative to employ whatever means were required to destroy the evil that was me and my colleagues.  Obviously that episode didn't end well, but it did give me a laugh when he accused me of hacking his computer.
