notepad_001_skin3, where there is an entry "door b34 2222" - "EL" might be related to the Villa woodboxes code, as both start with "EL"

Possible codes
fuses_01contains "17.22" and "17.52"control_panel_003-6_skin1contains many syllables, which can be used to build words like "ERIK", "MORKO", "NOTHING" and others, while some of them are of no obvious use.credit_card: "4321 7890 0000 4356"electricalbox_004: "M1 Y23" / "M2 Y26" / "M3 Y28"fuses_02: standing out because of its unusual pattern of codes: "G42", "H55"puzzle_box_016: "SW-WFM6-EWL-M52" (Stalburg Water - Water Flow Meter 6 - ???)smallelectricalbox_004: "Y93 755"bulletin_board_002_skin1: handwritten with red marker: "2C"sign_14_skin5: "BREAKER 1" / "POWERLINE" / "TGD-SBC-4" / "BR4 TGDNUM PO7 TGD1"sign_14_skin7: "BREAKER 2" / "POWERLINE" / "HW-SBC-2" / "BR4 HWNUM+1 O34 C87 EA2 N6"doors/door_002.wav- Comment " 00000000 00000210 00000884 00000000000359EC 00000000 0002A271 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000" - notice the leading space, possibly wrapped from "000359EC 00000000 0002A271 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000210 00000884 00000000".

height_limit_sign_001_skin2contains a seemingly hand-written number "6"skin0...skin2contain "HEIGHT LIMIT 2.2m", "...2.3m", "...2.6m", characters 2, 3 and 6 reversed resolve to the word "tie"
train_arrival_monitor_001should be investigated, could be a red herring.mailbox_skin2has text encododed in binary saying "the truth is in tunnels / Robin" (all lowercase except the first letter of "Robin")- There seems to be an unusual (aka statistically significant) high occurence of "1993" or "93".

- The right part of "Zunttis rag" (aka
scientific_table_001_skin3, see Letter box) is unused, but seems to contain a lot of words. - The Wasteland notes "truth" can be extended by "RESEARSTOPPED" from the Wasteland radio morse, resolving the anomaly "T.50=P".
locker_door_001_skin2: "MEETING" / "12.8 23:30" / "REMEBER TO GIVE LETTERS TO AH!"- In the in-game card deck, the spades' queen seems to be missing,
