Z banding at different heights

I3 mk3s fresh build, petg using prusament petg preset, built 2 and only one has these z bandings at random points where a layer is much wider than others, the print on the left also has the line more squashed as it goes further right

I am not sure this is Z Banding.  Can you post more photos?  It might also help if you upload the sliced 3MF file zipped so we can look at it.

The last photo is the same file where the one on the left was stopped early when I noticed the line that had formed

Other than the horizonal line (looks like slight layer shift) I am not sure what defect I am looking for.

I think @dan-rogers is correct.  I do not see it from all angles.  Wierd.  Have you tied to print a different but similar-sized object?

Not any different models similarly sized but the print I did immediately after the larger print was another copy of the first one, same gcode and it came out completely fine
