thank you your reply.

the Modem test does work on both devices.
Braveheart shows on registration my provider, 3GB Model shows not registered.

Here is a picture of braveheart factorytest:

and here from 3GB Model:
https://www.edius.de/test/pp/pinephone3g.jpg

Currently I can see 2 differences:
1. BH uses an older Firmware
2. BH uses LTE BAND 3 and and the newer firmware tries BAND 20

(also the signal strength is a little higher -71/-79 dBm)

So my idea is to try a downgrade to the braveheart version.

Do you think this is a good way?
I hope others will weigh in on this as I should note my BH PP's modem is still broke!  Thus my counsel in this matter should be highly suspect.  Ha!

That said I'm interested to compare the firmware versions on my BH and 3GB PP with yours later tonight and will let you know if theres a
difference or if discover anything else.

Also, I should mention that at one point I contacted Quectel customer support and that might be a resource for you.  They made available an EG25 flashing utility and firmware.  I did not use it as I ended up flashing the EG25 using biktorgj's method.

They also recommended their Quectel forum.  https://forums.quectel dot com/c/knowledge-base
