First Q - how good is your data - is there no possibility of twinning or any other distraction?
Second Q - To compare those results properly we need to know how the P2 and the P222 cell align - are the cell dimensions more or less the same? But the 2 plots you attach (and the list above) show both very strong 222 symmetry so the most likely assumption is that the pointgroup is P222. The next peak down the list is only 0.13 for one and 0.17 for the other pointgroup, which only borders on significance.. But this doesnt really prove anything - for example, if there is a flexible linker the 2 domains of each molecule may be in different relative orientations . Do you have any MR search model for the 2 domains? I would search with them and see what they predict - on the whole self rotation functions are most comprehensible AFTER the structure is solved!
