I think B) is more likely, especially if they were sent off-site.

I definitely remember that media created in other volume pools can't just return to scratch, but I wonder if that's the only reason in this scenario.

I feel like multiplexed images might have something to do with this, but I can't recall the specifics. It seems like a tricky detail.

I think I saw a similar question where off-site media was mentioned as a reason for not returning to the scratch pool. Could that be the case here too?

I remember something about media being in a suspended state could prevent it from returning to the scratch pool, but I'm not entirely sure how that works.
