Looking at your photos it doesn't look as much like light reflection across the
curve of the film [photo paper-but I do use pearl or matt myself]. It looks
like the overexposure is coming across the bottom of your photo which would be
at the top of the camera [the lid/]. I have seen this often with students who
have small light leaks around their lid.
I have them load a piece of paper, go out in the light for 30 sec to 1 min, but
not open the pinhole. Then return to the dark room and develop the paper. If
any parts turn gray or black you have a light leak. I usually just cover the
lid with some electrical tape and have used portions of photo paper black
plastic bags along with the tape. But then I am really a "seat of the
pants-wing-it pinholer at heart"
Just my 2 cents! Good luck
