I much prefer the 4.9.x layout where there is a little more space at the top and almost none at the bottom. 4.24.x layout is the other way around, which just feels upside down for me.
Additionally, strangely, some pages seem to render 26 lines while others render 27. It doesn't seem to be a widow/orphan thing, because the page with 26 lines ends with a single line from a new paragraph... ?! Any ideas?
Thanks

No need to be sorry. They are good pictures to show what you are talking about.
I know what's going on in the middle and right photos.
In the middle, the is not enough space between the last line and the footer to add another line. So that space will not be the same as the header where the top line starts at the same place.
The one on the right is the old widows and orphans issue. There is patch or a configuration (in the .conf file0 option. But, some eBooks do specify widows and orphans of 2 and the only way to fix that is to edit the CSS as long as the eBook has no DRM.
