I just got around to looking at your plots. In your IBVS note, Figure 2
sure makes it look like an eclipsing binary. Have you looked at periods
around two days? You might have a case where the orbit is eccentric and
is oriented such that the nearly equal-depth eclipses aren't equally
spaced in which case it can be tricky to get the period right when you
only have a few observations. See IBVS 4168 and 4544

My bet is that it's an EB with a one or two day period
