4 corrupted files, I can salvage some but with replication issues... #123

I have 4 files filmed at 4k resolution that came from a Panasonic Lumix G7 in .mp4 format.

I used a few tools, but what worked the best for me so far was the untrunc GUI. When I repair the files, I found that they all reflect the same footage. I believe 1 of these files was fully repaired correctly, but the other 3 are of different footage. How is this happening?

I recovered the files from the SD card of the camera via RECUVA when they were inadvertently deleted.

I pulled a reference file from the same SD card and same day of filming. Is it better to grab a new video for reference or something? Looking for some best practice ideas that I could try.

I tried some different options to try to get things to work better but am at a loss at this point. I have some screenshots attached. Please take a look. Anyone who is able to help me with this, let me know how you'd like to be tipped $, XMR, etc. :)

Please feel free to ask me anything about this. These files are pretty important for a video edit I did with some high profile individuals.
