conditional
Hi,
Is this a mixed conditional where a present result is predicated upon a hypothetical past action?
I would apologize if there had been a sign of uneasiness on my part toward you at the meeting.
Is this somewhat the same as this?
I would apologize if I had sown a sign of uneasiness toward you at the meeting.
If yes, would you say both are a mixed conditional?

You have another post on nearly the same subject. See my answer there. They are mixed conditionals, and they are very awkward.
