I agree with Phil. A P2 crystal with nearly perfect
noncrystallographic translational symmetry (~1/2,~1/2,0) will look like
a C2 cell with twice the length along a and b and weak spots between the
indexed spots. Look for those spots on your "C2" images.

Dear Markus,
I have seen something similar before, I think it was only
one cell dimension that was changing (and not the lattice type), but it could
double or triple the cell edge, crystals grown in very similar conditions,
impossible to tell from morphology what the cell
You should look critically at the indexing of the images for both cases. Does
the lattice interpret all spots, or are half of them missing
