I agree with Eric on that
Goes back to the old adage "If at first you don't succeed. Try! Try! Try again"  Or "Missed it by that much"

I know my answer but wonder does it leak? If not is there really a problem?
Any codes specifying maximum deviation of shingle size on a single roof?
I don't see any flashing on the vent.
My dad's neighbor has a house with a black roof and a barn with a green roof. For some reason his patches on the house are green and the barn are black. Maybe this repair was done by a relative of his.

What appears to me is a three tab shingle roof with archetectual shingles applied to make the repair. Some say it does not matter how you mix shingles on a roof if the composite is the same. The make -up of the shingles is different and the should not be mixed. If this is a temporary repair I can agree, but should be inspected and repaired with the proper materials for the repair.

You guys are kidding about not noting that it appears to be “amateur workmanship”, right …
A recommendation to monitor the installation may be more appropriate depending on what ya see underneath, but without any additional information (and another possible answer) I think there is only one "best answer" ...

It looks like an amateur installation form the beginning.
The original shingles are unevenly spaced. Maybe it is just the angle of that the picture was taken at, but it just looks that way to me.
There have been two different repairs in the same area at two different times. Why?
Those repairs look amateurish as well.
The original shingles show signs of wear. Granules look to be missing, the keys are separating, and it looks like there are a couple of holes in some of the shingles which could be from the nails popping through.That may indicate improper ventilation of the attic.
I would say that the original roof was somewhere between 10-12 years old.
I wonder what the rest of the roof looks like. If there were leaks and rotted wood, I would probably be close to recommending a new roof.
