I think that these figures show the opposite, but it's clearer without the coloured lines.
The shine-through is present on both sides, and the relative positions of several looped gallows on both sides match.
It seems to be a limited area on this folio. This area could have had some liquid (oil?) spilled on it, but it also has stretch marks from the parchment preparation, so could be a local thin spot.
There are much more extensive examples of this on other folios, e.g. almost all the text of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is visible through f116v.
