Rogier, Was there a pic ? The mailing list doesn't allow embedded pics - you need to attach them as a file or I find that sometimes pasting them into the email as the very last thing also works.
You could just try re-doing the Dec 2020 reconcile - they should show up there allowing you to check them off and include them in the Dec 2020 reconcile. What version of GnuCash / what OS are you on - there were issues ages ago with amending reconciled txns causing the flag to be reset to "u" ? It seems if your opening balance is correct for Jan (does this come from a last reconciled record in GnuCash?) you are correct in that they would have been reconciled previously based on your figures, so must have been unset by some action - did you update any details on these two txns after reconciling for December ?
