Keep the records that are 131 and 66 characters long. 131 chars are for the uncompress pubkey and 66 chars for the compressed pubkey. The uncompressed pubkey prefix is 04 and the compressed pukey is 02 or 03.

This one is 130 characters:

Code:

The compressed ones are indeed only half the size. But I meant the ones where the length varies by only 2, which is probably caused by truncating the first 148 characters.
Could it be the 148 characters isn't always the same?
Compare those 2:

Hmmm
It is not like leading zero removed somewhere during the process?
I though pubkeys should always have 65 or 33 bytes (including one for flag).
