The placement on the frame is a big clue. If the fogging goes to the edge of the film ( to the sprocket hole area), then it almost surely is from the window. The " sprocket holes" are too small to be sprocket holes but could be from a reflection or from a part of the damaged seal. Unload your camera and open the back and give the seal a good inspection. I keep these windows covered with opaque tape as a matter of course. If I can't remember what film I have in my camera, then I'm not taking enough pictures : ).
