Looking at my above analysis one might start pointing a finger
at the FO. However, I've been stearing at the FO and CPT
input curves for a while and it seems to me that the CPT
also might be to blame here.

While the FO was supposed to be the pilot flying, it appears to
me that the CPT inputs confused the FO in the critical moments.

Especially the CPT's increasing into wind right aileron starting about 4 sec
before touchdown#1 and removing it about 0,5 sec before TD#1.

I'm no pilot, but to me it seems like a bad idea to undermine the FO
input's so that the FO does not get the feel of the external forces
working on the acf giving him (her) a false impression of what's
going on. Especially in these critical moments during flare and decrab.

What are the guidelines here? Is it ok for the CPT to interfere with the FO inputs. OR, you either let the FO fly or flip the switch if you are
unhappy with whats going on
