2 years old shot Negatives kodak trix extol 1:1 problem

mystery solved.
Here is a XX with the same dev.
Everything is nice and dark.
I checked some older Kodak TriX and Tmax and they have ”whole not as fading” grayish
Edge prints.
They are maybe running the edge print machine faster to pump more films out resulting in not fully exposed edges.

Good to hear!
Yes, the edge print is notoriously unreliable for estimating proper development.
