Silver BAEC 2x 23kg baggage allowance

Hi
I noticed last week flying from LCY my baggage allowance was capped at 23kg, at the weekend I booked a trip to India and MMB say my and my partners' allowance is two 23kg bags each. Tomorrow my LGW to GLA flight says two 23kg bags... surely it should be 32kg? It was a few weeks ago but I don't normally check

Any ideas if this is a glitch? Its clearly picking up I'm silver as two bags are shown.

IIRC, the overweight [i.e. up to 32 kg] is waived for BAEC Silver. But India would surely be more generous anyway?

My bookings as GHC say 23kg even though the baggage rules state that the heavy bag charge (23-32kg) is waived for gold card holders. Never had trouble if the bag is over 23kg (although they are quite strict if the 32kg limit is exceeded).
