There is no question in my mind that the first image is manipulated or that a problem other than simple flare is at play here. A simple inspection of the scene reveals that there is no sun anywhere to be seen. The "sun just peeking" should cast heavy shadows, yet there is none. Also, flare does not manifest itself in such a heavy, localized manner. I suspect that, at best, the film has been fogged in the loading/unloading process.
