Has anyone experienced this before? Should a waitlisted Mileage upgrade request show on the regular waitlist (I wasn't aware the UG waitlist would even show until 24 hours prior)?

Thanks!

Those three on the waitlist - are they on the right hand side or left hand side?

It is also possible they checked in to a connecting flight and hence appear earlier than T-24. This is a well-known item.
