Interesting.
Looking at the basement photos. The bricks you see from the inside seem flush to the inside face of block wall. The foundation blocks are commonly 8" or 10" thick. So I am not sure those bricks that you are seeing from the inside are the same ones as you are seeing from the outside.
Almost as if somebody decided to insulate the rim joist with bricks instead of insulation (that's just to illustrate what it looks like -- I am not suggesting somebody would actually do that).
Is there a basement window or door or something that you can see if those interior bricks are a different set than the exterior bricks ?
