Thanks for the comments!

  KeepIS said  Replace the gate resistors, they can be compromised, I had that issue after the old changeover ATS I was using arched Mains AC to Inverter AC and took out a few FETs.

I did measure them, but you're right they're easily replaced.

  wiseguy said  I have re-read the last few pages of your thread and now I have a question, what choke cores are you using now?

I never actually used the gapped amorphous nanocrystalline cores on the inverter.  I have always used 2 sets of 5 stacked MS-184040-2 cores (sendust) with 9 turns, each resulting in 38uH at 5 amps, 25uH at 80 amps, dropping to 15uH at 160 amps.

I need to look further to see if I can find any other issues...
