I am also in agreement with you about the nature of these anomalies but I don't feel that it is a "case closed" situation from some of the replies I read afterward.
I just wanted to add my opinion and thank you for your efforts as well as Phage and Soboro. I would also like to point out that even if this is "case closed" for this anomaly there is no need to worry because the Moon has many more yet to be explained anomalies to brood over.

The two images below are what I found whilst studying the Lunar Orbiter images from Prof Robinson’s collections. Note that these ‘tracks’ were photographed in 1967 BEFORE any probe landed on the Moon! So these cannot be explained away as tracks made by a Lunar Rover.

No.
Neither a digital bug nor a lunar bug. It's a photographic flaw which is duplicated in at the same frame location (up and left of center) in a series of Apollo 15 images:

Prior to exposure, the film in the Apollo mapping camera system (a schematic of which is reproduced below) was held by pressure against a glass plate containing the reseau marks.
Subsequent analysis during image reprocessing has revealed that during the missions foreign debris are present in the optical path of the camera system and can be seen in the seen in the photographic exposures. Selected examples of blemish features of this type are shown in Figure 2. A movie showing blemish movement can be seen here.

But why do you say that it is a Photographic flaws if the anomaly appears also in MULTIPLE images?

Thanks Phage & Arbitraguer
But how do you can explain that a very similar anomaly is found in an absolutely different zone from the first?
Figure 2. . Examples of consistent blemish features in sequential metric frames from the Apollo 15 mission. Note how the position and orientation of these blemish features change slightly from frame to frame (ASU).

I really think that you are joke
Your speculation is absolutely right but Nasa people (sorry still laughing) are humans like me and probably you and... "sometimes"... "something"... SLIP OUT

Thanks again but I'm not still convinced of this explanaition.
