You sir are a genius! I edited PENTAX to Pentax. There were two occurrences in "Pentax maker notes" Lens type which was coded and I could not change that but I made two changes in "Image file main directory image" which did not do the trick but I found another two occurrences in "XMP TIFF properties" and bingo! Now that is one trial and I need to do more images and test if the changes in XMP TIFF are sufficient on their own but this is a good start. I will post results here. As you say, bizarre.
Thank you.

Also noticed that. But I have images from a former smartphone that are big-endian and that work. And It appears that Gimp reads both kinds (as shown in Image>Metadata), but always uses small-endian when saving the image (at least on X86/AMD64 systems, but these are nearly all laptops/desktops these days).
