This set also includes unconverted scans from NASA, with a RAW prefix and .raw extension. The latter can not be read by conventional image software. For more information on how it was scanned, see NSSDC link below.
To get the RAW files, see 'Download options' window and click on 'SHOW ALL'
internet. Original files have been received by NASA by asking here:

We received the images.... and what we got were completely non-standard files not readable by any image software. They appear to be raw bit streams taken from the tape. Luckily, information on how they were scanned and saved is available. But it still posed a challenge.

We continued to tweak the decoder, until we finally got acceptable results
that looked like the few images online by NASA. We have converted them
all to JPG and uploaded here.
