Traceroute by design can only see the outbound path. Remember how it works; it measures the time from when the system sends the UDP datagram or ICMP echo to when the TTL expired comes back. It only sees the node that sent the TTL expired, which is an outbound path router, so can't identify how those TTL expired messages sent by routers on the outbound path made their way back to you.
EDIT: If the humps are still there I can show you the respective return paths if you provide the first 3 octets of the IP addresses in question.

Out of interest, what is actually done during "maintenance work"? |
They're probably tidying up cabinets, replacing and installing new taps, and, hopefully, upgrading amplifiers and optical nodes to allow for more downstream and upstream channels.
