Another possible source of flares (or clints) off the Iridium spacevehicle might be off two other surfaces of the spacevehicle that are coated with flexible optical solar reflector like the MMAs...One equipment panel underneath the MMAs, it has about the same dimension as the MMS (86 x 188 cm) but is pretty well shielded by the MMAs as viewed from the ground. The other is the Battery Radiator Assembly (called the BRA by the Lockheed gang who designed it).
