On a whim I emailed FilmScanUSE.com and their response is shown immediately
below.
I do have an OEM holder and I do have the Nikon supplied 120 film size
masks.
And now ...... no more Newton rings !!

------------------------------------------------------
Nikon OEM holders FH-869G have ANR top glass and clear bottom glass. Nikon
has no option for ANR bottom glass. The film must be held up slightly above
glass (not touching) in order to avoid Newton Rings. Nikon supplies a set
of thin mask for holding film above glass for 120 film size, for other film
size you must make your own mask.
Our replacement holder is made by modifying the 35mm holder. Our holder has
top ANR glass and bottom clear glass. You must come up with your own film
mask. The only advantage of our holder is larger film and frame area, can
use film 70mm wide. We can supply a ANR bottom glass, but not recommended
as it will add a little softness. Our glass can be changed at any time, it
is simple glass cut to correct size and placed into holder, no fancy hinge
or latch.
If you don't need the 70mm film size then the OEM holder is better than ours
(if you can find them).

Not sure of the shipping situation to Canada with postal strike at this
time.
Thank You

Subject: Nikon 9000 FH-869G film holder
Body: Can you tell me whether the original Nikon FH-869G film
holder uses "anti-Newton ring" optical glass as standard or whether that
grade of glass would have had to have been requested at the time of
purchase?
Are the replacement carriers for the FH-869G which you can suppiy
using "anti Newton-ring glass" as a standard component or whether that type
of glass has to be requested at the time of purchase?
Sincerely
John Hudson
