I think we're looking at a couple of different stains here
The one at the top is probably linked to the stain that goes across several earlier pages, ie 102r, 102v, 103r, 103v and 104r. That's probably a wine stain.
The brighter red stains are unique in their colours I think; it's possible that they're produced from contact with the Marci letter seal in some way? Blood would have lost its colour.
