That particular fiducial gets obscured by various factors, including the CM surface details which fall under it, the low quality of the scan, and JPEG artifacts. See this page for clearer scans. The fiducial is barly visible in the Low-Res image, but crystal clear in the Medium- and Hi-Res versions.

In fact, in the two larger images, you can see parts of the fiducial bled out by the bright white streaks on the CM hull, and emulsion bleed was what the HB page was attempting to discredit by referencing this image.
