A question about Marvel’s printing process?

I recently noticed on my Strange Tales 118 page that the page I have is different from the final printed page.  In the 5th panel shot of the Baxter Building, there appears to be a flag pole or something in the printed page (and every subsequent re-print) that is not in the original. Any idea at what stage in the process, and how it might’ve been added in?

I agree with Brian.  Just a technical glitch (not a flagpole! LOL) on the negative.  Some similar flaws are apparent in the word balloons in panels 5 and 6.  And your original art looks totally legit.

Awesome, thanks! Yeah, I thought it was a strangely placed “flagpole”...

I bought it on eBay from a guy who lives in Canada. It should be legit, right? 🤣

Just a quick question, is the Canada reference because you guys know of a guy that creates fakes who is from Canada ? 
I know the question may sound silly to you but I am just curious.
