Transaction history category A and B meaning

Jo_C_2

Hi @Land_Registry

I am looking to purchase a property and the transaction history shows as this:

Transaction History 

B  2024-05-13 £80,000
A  2020-02-17 £65,000

What does the A and B mean?
The current owner (who I am buying from) definitely purchased the property for £65,000 on 17/02/2020.

So I am confused as to what the other transaction is for £80,000? 

Any ideas/help with this greatly appreciated.
TIA
