I've found a record sets that are incorrectly titled and are the exact duplicate of the one above it. https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/816871?availability=Family%20History%20Library the first two sets of records are identical, even though the first set is titled baptims/births (which is what the file contains) the second set is titled marriages but is the same birth records as the first set. The next two are duplicates of one another and the last four are all the same file.

    The crucial detail you've missed is the part where it says "Items 1-2" and "Item 3" (for example). These are multi-item films, but the camera icon always takes you to the beginning of the whole film, not to the item you need.

    I've translated the catalog entries and annotated them with the starting image number for each item. (I went with the first image that has actual register entries on it, skipping things like title pages or filming bookmarks.)
