P0420: Why is my cat possibly dead?

Hi everyone,

I have a P0420 code on my 2011 Sport 4x4 and I believe my bank 1 cat is dead:
  • rattling sounds coming from the area
  • voltage waveforms that match each other on O2 sensors 1 and 2.
Can you help diagnose if it is dead and why?

History:
  • I got the check engine light and P0420 code. 135000 km on the odometer.
  • Changed my air filter, 47000 km since last replacement. Very dirty from dusty gravel roads.
  • Checked my O2 sensor voltage waveforms on bank 1 and downstream sensor 2 was following upstream sensor 1.
  • Changed my O2 sensors to new NTK sensors. Old Ford sensors had sooty black tips. No change to voltage waveforms, still following each other.
  • Cleaned MAF sensor with no residue electronic cleaner. No change.
  • Long term fuel trims are bank 1: 0-2% and bank 2: 2-4%. What does this even mean?
Ideas? Solutions?

Thanks!

Here's some sensor data:

O2 sensors, long term fuel trim, MAF and EGR.

Anything else?
