Yes, its two IP's to the same MAC address. Its a raspberry pi 3B using swclock so time may be an issue though I dont see how, but its still a different IP for each stage, but the logs are showing the same MAC address. Google shows its a known problem and not just me - but its a reason why and then a better fix than stopping the OS from starting its interface that I am looking for.

You might consider turning up logging on the DHCP server to see if it can give you any information on why it's handing out different IPs. It may be detecting that the IP handed out last time is in use and not realizing that it's the same system.
I've had good luck with the BIND and INN user community mailing lists from ISC. I suspect that the DHCP mailing list would be equally helpful.
Unfortunately an ill advised "rm -rf" in my storage system has left me restoring 7TB of data, so it will be a couple of days more before I have time again - thank-you borgbackup - you are a life saver!!!!
Ouch! The good news is that you have the data backed up to be able to restore it. Also, inadvertent and unexpected backup test. :-j
