"Image currently unavailable (Forbidden)".
I can't figure out what "i/o" means in your question, so combined with the error message, I can only make very generalized suggestions.
You may be able to identify the nature of the document (or find column headers) by looking at the prior image(s), using the Reference Images tool.
If that number of images (5 forward and 5 back) isn't sufficient to identify the type of data, then you may be able to see more of them by searching for the film or image group in the Catalog or the Images section. The film/image-group number can usually be figured out by going to Batch - About Batch (at the top left of the indexing screen).
In the projects that I've worked on, the film number was the portion of the "Image Name" that's before the underscore.
If the reference images don't identify the data type, and the film isn't accessible (as it may very well not be, given the error message I got), then you can simply return the batch for someone else to figure out.

(Batch reference format is MQFX-V73) Since FS decided to restrict so many Zimbabwe films, we can no longer go to the particular film number to page through the images or see the film headers. Also shared batches will not permit viewing of reference images either side.... so based on what can be determined from your batch - it is a typed form in chronological order, not alphabetical order. It is a marriage reference as it includes both parties, each party's parents names, and a full date of the event. s/o is an abbreviation for son of, d/o is an abbreviation for daughter of. The general format is first line groom: (first name) (surname) s/o (fathers first name) - (mothers first name), then second line is bride: (first name)(surname) d/o (fathers first name) - (mothers first name). Note some entries only have 1 parents name. Although the page is not in a traditional register format, based on the info it does contain, it does not meet the criteria of an index definition in PI, so therefore should be indexed
