120v full charge showed 113 GOM miles (didn't expect that to mean squat, just a reference) and obviously -- -- hrs to 100%. Reset tripmeter and avg m/kw readout on dash
That's a good start! You have covered all the bases.

Hit LBW with 9 miles showing at 17 hours to 100% with 73.4miles on trip
This is 4 hours below book performance (21 hours). If we assume 11 Gid per hour, and 75 Wh usable per Gid, we get ~ 14 kWh usable energy per the charging display. Multiplying that with your energy economy implies 64 miles of range.
A quick backcheck says that the display is missing about 2.5 hours. That could be an offset, but it's surprising to hear, since you charged the car to full on 120V. That should reset the gauge. Did you plug it in after it was charged again or did you precondition (use the climate control)?

Hit VLBW (dropped from 4 on GOM straight to _ _ _) with 19 hours to 100% and 79.2 miles on trip.
Drove around another few miles to 83.5 miles on trip. Never saw turtle but had to get home. Highest number to 100% on 120V never exceeded 20:00 and was obviously very close to turtle after more than 4 miles post-VLBW. 4.6 m/kw stayed overall average, which is about my norm.
OK, based on VLBW at 17 hours, you would have hit turtle mode at 21 hours. Something to keep in mind, and the performance of the car was more predictable in this respect. I'm calculating 79.7 miles at the 21-hour mark, which means that we are missing a few:
21 hr x 11 Gid/hr x 0.075 kWh/Gid x 4.6 miles/kWh = 79.7 miles

Unless I'm missing something basic, implication is I have have fewer electrons than I should expect with such low-stress use, or my charge time gauge is suspect at best.
I think the most plausible explanation is that your display gauge had about 2 hours offset. It's reasonable to assume that it might have incremented another hour if the car was driven all the way to turtle, but we cannot be certain. Either way, I'm getting about 19 kWh of usable energy at the most, which is on the low side for a vehicle with your Leaf's parameters. Was it cold out?
Another possibility is that the energy economy gauge is not displaying correct numbers. We had that with some Leafs. Did you ever have a chance to measure how much energy the Leaf takes from the wall on level 2 when charging from turtle to full?
