One of these certs is not like the others -DST Root CA X3 breaking antique hosts

It looks like something has changed in the certificates served by LE. They used to include the intermediate ISRG Root X1 certificate, but have stopped doing so recently. See: Certificate chain no longer includes ISRG Root X1? - #3 by guillerodriguez

This could explain why you see different chains, depending on the time the certs were last renewed.
