Every single one of those episodes is set to be ignored for duplicate
matching. In other words, they were deleted with "Delete and allow to
re-record" or deleted by auto-expiration and either not marked as
watched or were marked as watched and you've set:
Re-record watched
If enabled, programs that have been marked as watched and are
Auto-Expired will be re-recorded if they are shown again.

Because these episodes all have program IDs, the subtitle and
description are not used for duplicate matching.
