On your full frame with rebate image - the Hasselblad notches are there. A few decades ago I attended a gallery show opening of an area 'famous' photographer. All square images. All Hasselblad images - as he told everyone there. Til another photographer clearly said "no, the are not Hasselblad photographs". He insisted they were and turned away. "Where are the notches"? This was loud enough for all to hear. "What do you mean, notches, this is Hasselblad photography" and had the offending photo critic escorted out.
Next show, the notches were there. Nope, he did not buy a Hasselblad. Instead he researched a bit and then took a fine file to the square format film body he was using. Last I heard he's still a "fake it and pretend you have made it" shooter and still does not use a Hasselblad.
