IPv6 Cert - correct details?

[Sparrow]

Hi,

I wanted to test the new 6-day certs, and a self signed cert seems to have worked on a VPS hosting control panel.

I'm not naturally a CLI guy, but I muddled through and have a few questions about the cert details below.

Q1: On my test, is it normal for the Issuer to be the same as the Common Name and not Let's Encrypt? I am guessing so, as this was self-signed, so we wouldn't expect to see LE mentioned.

Q2: Again, this is self-signed, so no Chain Validation is normal in this scenario?

Q3: On two test certs mentioned by Let's Encrypt, I am picking up an issuer of '(STAGING) Pseudo Plum E5' for the second one (see below). Is this OK/accurate?
Or perhaps Psuedo Plum was the original staging issuer and then a change to the cert made it update to say Let's Encrypt?

[2602:ff3a:1:abad:c0f:fee:abad:cafe]
Issuer: Let's Encrypt

[2a01:799:15d1:8400::1111]
Issuer: Let's Encrypt AND/OR (STAGING) Pseudo Plum E5

Cheers

Yes, a self-signed cert was its own issuer

Correct

Yes, that is one of the intermediates used by Let's Encrypt Staging system. The first example IPv6 cert was created by an LE Staff member using LE production. The second example was issued on the LE Staging system.
