An XLS (BIFF5) without proper codepage specified in the file, assumed Win-1251
The attached file (presumably generated using some 3rd-party generator) lacks
explicit codepage (assumed Win-1251). Opening it in Calc with Russian locale
and Russian default document language, all Cyrillic characters get garbled
(i.e., Win-1252 is used instead of Win-1251).
Excel 2016 on Russian Windows OS opens this file correctly. On English OS,
Excel emits "File error. Some number formats may have been lost.", and opens
with garbled Cyrillic characters, as in Calc.
Tested with Version: 6.4.3.2 (x64)
