Recounts are rare, even when results are very close, especially when tally sheets have been used. The Electoral Commission should be looking at separate counts, perhaps a day or two later.

This is absolutely crucial. It should be a requirement that agents are shown the verification statement (and allowed to copy it) as soon as verification has been completed. “more information to candidates and agents to both keep them informed and help them query matters which should be queried.”
