Why are the thumbnails for .mov files only showing up for the files with the "E" prefix?

I am copying photos from my iPhone SE 2nd Gen. to my Windows 11 PC.

These are the video parts of live photos.

Perhaps the two sets of files are using a slightly different codec such that the Windows thumbnail generator handles them differently. Did you make any edits on your phone? Perhaps the E stands for edit, and the process adds in a tag with a thumbnail which otherwise isn't there.
