Hi Ronald, As Bogdan mentioned, these seem to be a bunch of intra-RIR transfers. I'm not sure if it has ever been explained why (if it has my apologies for the obliviousness), but any transfer of v4 or v6 seems to "re-create" the RIPE Database object, thus the very recent date. I noticed this recently on an allocation we split up and transferred a part from, the date was set to the day of the transfer on both the old and the new object. If you take a look at the alloclist file[1], or the delegated-latest[2], you can see the original allocation date by the RIPE NCC to the original receiver. RIPEstat also shows a transfer has taken place, which is easy for a quick check. Though, the widget does not show WHO transferred said objects.

What is the maximum size for current new IPv4 allocations in the RIPE region? /24 "if there is something to distribute at all"
Just to confirm what Gert said.
For more information please feel free to check our website about IPv4 https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv4
as well the underlying RIPE policy which was published in November 2019 https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-733#51
Thank you for the confirmation. Unfortunately, I remain rather mystified by how the following IPv4 blocks, and the current RIPE WHOIS records that pertain to them, comport with what you and Gert have just now told me. Perhaps there is something that I am missing (?)

P.S. I would still be concerned, although perhaps a bit less concerned, if this organisation had not elected to place a fradulent and non-existant comnpany name into its public WHOIS organisation: record. I would however still remain befuddled by how this organisation managed to be assigned some 72 times as much IPv4 address space as anybody else could get, all apparently less than 2 months ago.
But there must be a reasoable explanation, I suppose.
There is, those are transfers, check them here https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-transfers-and-mergers/tran... <https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-transfers-and-mergers/transfer-statistics/within-ripe-ncc-service-region/ipv4-transfer-statistics>
