Since present in both xray and buttons points to si-pin detector as possible source?
Seen??more when scattering from low??Z sample interactions??with detector.
Te is sometimes added to si-pin detectors for performance enhancement?
One way to find out
Will ask Amptek?

I managed to find my old Te metal and Al mca files to make a comparison.
Te like peaks are seen in Al with xray and Am241 exciter
More obvious when florescent? yield is low and higher scatter
If look at my tektitebigscatter mca with my detector/sample not well aligned systemic peaks like Sn and Te are more visible? due to scattering.
There is Sn in my? my graded shielding .
It is possible this Te peak is a manisfestation of a systemic peak?
The question is the source?
Anyway if traces of? Te can form in tektites,geologist will not be having a? hard time locating the impact zone
