Any idea what this is equivalent to in filters (e.g. R72, 88, 89,...) ?
It's dark; very dark! Not the deep red of the IR slave trigger flashes
I've seen though (I have one of those too). The slight glow through the
chrome film chips I've used looks more brown/black or possibly blue/black
(mostly Kodachrome). Best I can describe it and have absolutely no idea
what the equivalent Wratten number is for them.
If you have these filters . . . or access to them . . . you could perform
an experiment switching between a chip of chrome film and the various
filters in front of the flash to see which filter has a glow in intensity
and color closest to the chip of film. I hesitate to say this, but the
deep red ones (e.g. R72 ??) are probably the least likely to match, based
solely on my very uncalibrated eyeball and the colors it perceives glowing
through the film chip.
