    if you use /nobr you'll see there are two, on the same level you can't have both, you need to go to parent (<td>):

     

    //td[@class="csC31EF637" and text()="INVRCT-")]
//td[@class="csC31EF637" and text()="4072")]

     

     

    I usually do a print of the innerHTML attribute if I'm unsure:

     

    els = driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//td[@class='csC31EF637']/nobr")
for el in els:
    print(el.get_attribute('innerHTML'))
