The space after the overprinted FIG appears normally, so all I have hypothesized so far is that the hammer is striking the # as the typebox is shifting right from FIGS to LTRS position. I need to experiment some more. I don’t think it has anything to do with ITTY. A quick test with a keyboard also overprinted.

You always have the best puzzles. (BTW sorry I buried the simple answer to last question down towards the bottom following a bunch of superfluous information)

What do we know. The last UC character should have been followed by a space. 

The # appears to be an inserted character somehow, but how at machine speed?

It suggests a back space function?

Might be fun to run a reperf in parallel.  I'm not sure how the ASCII to 5 bit conversions are done.  You wouldn't think anything funny would be involved in that.

I have a M28 printer that almost always overstrikes # onto the last FIG in a string followed by a SP.

The 3 gets an overstrike #. 

This typebox has # for FIGS-H

FWIW Unshift On Space is disabled. 

For example, if I am printing ITTY news articles, all the commas get overstruck. 

I am overstruck with puzzlement.
