Thanks for the help,  now I know for sure what I'm looking for.
 
As to the mystery of why two different location.......well.  I had my
shallow box in the middle of my two deeps to promote comb drawing in that
area.  At that time the queen was laying in the top, workers storing honey
in bottom.  I moved the box with the queen it it to the bottom the other
deep on top of that then the shallow one on top of both.  I figured when
the time comes to get ready for winter I could just take off the shallow
and bee done with it.  It is this shallow that I'm finding these enlarged
cells, (not peanuts shaped) just larger and longer.
 
Thanks again,  I'll check the egg situation in the am.
