+In this case the main difference in the .raw is due to the SNDD files (and [[SUBT]] for level0).
 ====Extra level0 textures====
 The level0_Final.raw of older versions stores a few megabytes worth of "obsolete" textures.

 ==Gaps==
 The original .raw are not packed as a compact sequence of 32-byte-aligned chunks.

 Interestingly, those gaps seem to be the same across version, even if other content differs.

 :The pointer in the .dat got redirected to the new version, and the old version was lost.
 So, either duplicates of existing resources, or obsolete versions reflecting development.

-Not too many of those. Always 32 bytes long. Probably always the same type. Content checking should tell.
 ====[[OSBD]]====

+A few of those in level 0. Reauthored duplicates of existing OSAm/OSGr pairs: for every pair, there are (minor) changes either in the OSAm or in the OSGr
 ====[[SNDD]]====
-Those make the most of the gap space. There seems to be ore than duplicates in the case of the [[SNDD]].
+Those make the most of the gap space. Some of the sounds were actually reauthored (higher sample rates, shorter durations...)
+:Most of them, however, are duplicates, apparently due to a bug in Bungie's packing system.
