    The notes partially look like handwritten. Is this the case? If so, could it be the writer's way to write a quarter rest?

    They do look like natural signs, but it is hard to tell out of context. Would natural signs make sense there? Can you post a picture of the whole measure?

Looks like a handwritten natural sign to me. The context doesn't suggest any other possibilities

    Strangely, the first natural sign in the lower desk looks different. But for handwritten, not to mention the resultant harmony, flat sign is almost certainly wrong.
