I have an obsolete 499MB Recovery partition at the beginning of the drive.
The current, in-use Recovery partition at the end of the drive is now 847MB after adding roughly 250 or so MB.
Aomei PA shows that 612MB of the Recovery partition are being used at this time.

Hmmm. I would typically expect to see an EFI partition at the front of the system drive. It doesn't have to be first but that is the most common.

I expanded my recovery partition to a little over 1GB. But only 472MB appears to be in use.

The Recovery partition is not an EFI partition.

Yes, I know. I would typically expect to see the EFI partition at the head of the drive and the recovery partition at the tail. That's how the Windows installer has set up all of my systems.
