Looking at the print once more Marty, you may be right. It could well be exhausted developer that has given the print a dull grey instead of a good black.
And having looked at the print carefully, I note that neither of the borders at the top and at the RHS are black, as expected, so you may be right.
I've also just done a quick edit of the picture, with the borders at what I presume the right tone, and it does produce a rather dark picture. Not knowing when it was taken it may well be too dark and if so, again as you said, it may need more exposure as well as more developer.
