After the 0082 (Value) request, there is always a bulk transfer. In
this case the bulk transfer is 0x60 bytes length. I should not use
TAB caracters in my e-mails to buid the diagrams. The 5th byte of the
8-byte vector is the hi-byte and the 4th byte is the lo-byte of the
length (not the second and first as your mail reader may be showing
this text).
But in that case, the bulk transfer data comes from the computer to
the scanner... so it doesn't seem to be a `reply'.

Just after the bulk transfer a type III transfer doesn't take place.
The 8-byte request is URB #574, and the next type III request is URB
#816 . The next 8-byte req is URB #598, so it seems type III requests
are not a status byte for those 8-byte requests.

Thanks for the info. I have ignored usb-storage and seems a fairly
common interface for SCSI and USB. I'll first look for the specs and
compare the protocol.
