Open Notebook NMR – interesting outlier(s)

Here is an interesting outlier which caught me out, until Christoph explained it. Here are two spectra. They are both from the same source:
10009121.PNG
(There are 3 peaks – note the disagreement)
10006328.PNG
Also 3 peaks.
Here is the metadata for the second one (the first is similar and also from DKFZ spektren.

What’s going on? Can you reconcile the apparent discrepancies? The actual “error” was one of the many possibilities we listed before we started.
