Bitcoin Core exhibits addresses that Electrum says do not belong to my pockets (imported MPK by way of EPS). What’s going on?

I bought a full node (pruned) up and operating with Bitcoin Core by way of Tor. I put in Electrum Private Server (EPS) and linked my {hardware} pockets with Electrum by way of Tor. I generated a watch-only pockets in Bitcoin Core of my {hardware} pockets by offering the grasp public key within the config.ini file (no different grasp public keys, solely the one in all my {hardware} pockets as proven on Electrum). All the pieces works: I get the inexperienced circle in Electrum, saying I am linked to (solely) my very own node, and I can watch my pockets in Bitcoin Core.

Nevertheless, Bitcoin Core’s “receiving addresses” present addresses that don’t belong to my pockets in keeping with Electrum. I attempted to ship a check quantity to one of many addresses in Bitcoin Core that weren’t proven in Electrum. This transaction now exhibits in Bitcoin Core as belonging to one in all my watch-only addresses however doesn’t present in Electrum. The ismine(“handle”) command in Electrum returns false. I can also’t signal messages with the handle in Electrum with my {hardware} pockets linked as Electrum says the handle would not belong to the pockets.

I double checked that just one MPK is talked about in EPS’s config.ini file, and I additionally created a brand new pockets in Bitcoin Core and resynced the EPS. Identical drawback: my pockets now exhibits a unique quantity in Bitcoin Core (together with the abovementioned handle) than in Electrum (excluding that handle). Bitcoin Core is displaying many different addresses that aren’t current in Electrum, moreover this one which I despatched a check transaction to.

How is that this doable? The Bitcoin Core pockets has personal keys disabled + clean pockets and is known as “electrumpersonalserver”, so it must be devoted to EPS and since I solely imported and grasp public key, should not it include solely addresses derived from that one grasp public key?

Is the difficulty that Bitcoin Core has derived an handle from my grasp public key that Electrum hasn’t generated but? However I might assume that Electrum ought to recognise all addresses that belong to the pockets (and ismine returned false and I can not signal messages with the handle in my Electrum pockets because it says the handle would not belong to the pockets). Or should not I’ve imported the grasp public key via the EPS config.ini file (and slightly imported it via the Bitcoin Core console)?

I’d be very grateful for any assist and insights into what is going on on right here. Many thanks prematurely!
