There was another Virgin Atlantic Airbus A330 that passed over further to the west at 23:55 GMT, but I think the first one, G-VINE, is the one in the video.
It appears to me to be a simple case of the darker contrail in shadow. The starboard (right) hand side of the Airbus is shadow.
It also crossed my mind that it might possibly be a variant of the same engine Rolls Royce Trent 772-60?

Possibly just the lighting on the following image but the starboard (right) engine appears to have a differently coloured front part of the engine cowling? This is G-VINE which I believe features in the video?

Michael also filmed this airliner minutes after the Airbus flyover. Clearly the light is coming from the left with the darker trail in partial shadow of the other. Michael is claiming that following

Notice the difference between colors from each side. I also have several stills and video of planes spraying while flying the opposite direction the dark trail always comes from the right side.
After I lose the Plane in this one I follow the trail back to where it starts and you can see it mixing before it spreads.
