To an extent, yes, but not to the point of darkening it so much that other
small reflections are pronounced. Look at the centre of the cross point
screws, they appear to be glowing when compared to the rest of the screw.
There's also a purple colour shift present on the transformer and the little
square piece of tape above it. They should be black.

Good question, I'll try rotating it and see what happens. It's not possible
to separate the two halves of the Xpol but it may be possible to add the
rear part (half wave plate?) of a circular polarizer behind it.
