I can only think that they were talking on speaker setting and the quiet side was the distant caller being picked up by the microphone? I recall the conversation being about a visit the caller had just done to Euro Disney... The only thing wrong with that explaination is that the handset tx for the microphone was the higher band as a rule
I can find out though, they gave me the phone! it's about home somewhere, a Binatone thing.
Even without using speakerphone, there's always some sidetone. So you might have been hearing that. Some sidetone is inevitable, as a consequence of 4 wire to 2 wire conversion. In fact a little is a good thing. If you don't hear any of your own voice back in the earpiece the line sounds dead and you tend to shout.
