Keyword: "full reinstallation".

1-Some of your efibootmgr entries probably became obsolete upon reinstallation,
and should be excised from NVRAM, and if they still exist on ESP, from there 
too.

2-Both openSUSE and Fedora stopped using standard grub2-efi by default a while
back (Debian more recently). Do you still have grub2-efi installed and in use on
both? On one or the other only? On neither? Other options include systemd-boot 
and
grub2-bls.

3-Are kernels and initrds installed in /boot/ directly in both, or do one or the
other or both put them on the ESP?

4-Grub upstream switched to configuring GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER="true" as default
in /etc/default/grub, and this upstream config retained by both Fedora and
openSUSE, so if you are using Grub but don't change this to false, os-prober 
won't
be employed in generating grub.cfg.

All my PCs are multiboot. All include openSUSE. Most include Fedora. All using 
EFI
are booting only from openSUSE Tumbleweed's grub2-efi via /boot/grub2/custom.cfg
created and maintained exclusively by me using my plain text editor, which is
called by /etc/grub.d/07_custom, which places all custom stanzas at the head of
the boot menu, and is a copy of /etc/grub.d/41_custom, described in more detail 
on
