Missing notes after changing phones

I noticed that some of my older notes are missing after upgrading to a new iPhone, even after doing a backup. Notes has always been included in all backups to the cloud. Is there a way to review prior backups to recover missing notes without having to delete or override the new or modified notes?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Where were the Notes? See the pic below. You will get your answer

The recently deleted folder will exist only if you deleted Notes from iCloud or from the "On My Phone" Folder. Deletion from other Folders does not use Recently Deleted Sub-Folder.



Please see the following pic which is self-explanatory
