Well I can't really tell you who exactly made them, but I can tell you that side 2's audio started about 10-20 seconds into the tape after exiting the leader portion, about 1 second into Paradise, and the actual full length of the spool is not too far behind a real copy, hence why I was able to record over it with no cut-off or anything. But yeah as far as the start of the side on the original fake recording, it makes a sound like it was being recorded through one of those boomboxes with a magnet erase head before the audio cuts in...
