what exactly are the entries listed below the "recently closed windows" menu, if not recently closed tabs?

In this menu in my attached screenshot, where exactly do these entries in this yellow box originate from, how exactly do they differ from the recently closed tabs entries?

This is the history menu, so what you see there are pages you visited recently. This includes pages that you have closed and pages in the tab back/forward history of open and closed tabs and windows.

Ah ok. It'd be great if there was a way to merge both, to also display all recently closed tabs in that menu aswell so the step into the submenu becomes superfluous
