And i checked mempool.space for the specified blocks: https://mempool.space/block/00000000000271a2dc26e7667f8419f2e15416dc6955e5a6c6cdf3f2574dd08e and https://mempool.space/block/00000000000743f190a18c5577a3c2d2a1f610ae9601ac046a38084ccb7cd721

How can two blocks have the same coinbase tx and be so far spread out? Can anyone explain what happened here? Is this the result of some early bitcoin experiments?
