Default AU XR6 timing light weirdness

So I was checking spark on our AU XR6 VCT and this weird issue revealed itself.

The car starts and idles fine, maybe not 100% smooth but pretty close. I put a timing light on the leads and it appears that cylinders 1, 2 and 3 are firing at approximately double the rate of cylinders 4,5 and 6.

I've changed the coil pack and it's still the same.

I've asked a couple ford mechanic and they agree its weird.

Has anyone come across this before?

Has anyone done this test on their AU?

Nobody with an AU has a timing light?

ECU on the fritz maybe?????

Been a long time since I mechanically mucked around with an AU though.

Yeah maybe. I'm not sure I want to buy another AU ECU seeing that I'm converting it to Barra ECU shortly.
