You mentioned the VP Twin. I got one for the princely sum of 99p. I had to make some new red windows from some acrylic sheet and I ran a roll of 127 film through it and got similar results to yours with the Vista Colour. The camera cost me 99p but the roll of film was £14.00 !!!!
This morning I was looking at my camera gear. Digital and the needed gear. I recalled my film days. Shot mostly slide and I thought how I had to create the image I wanted to go on the slide. There was no way to take a slide and add or shadow the image to make it better. Like a painter and using colors applied to a blank canvas. Yes a canvas can be added or applied with hues to make it look better. But the work would be time consuming and to remove any hue after applying to a completed painting. I really miss film days. I have seen digital images, after being printed that just didn't look natural. I remember one award winning image of horses as if running in a circle, with purple and red hues with patches of real dark hues. The explaination of how the final image was made left me thinking why not just take any photo and play with using a computer program and end up with an image that is NOT an actual moment with a camera?
Yep, you definitely get the vintage look from vintage cameras. No light leaks? I usually tape them up with electrical tape just in case. 👍📸

That's an oddity I've never seen.
