Actually though many stories may have remained largely intact, more than a few were not only revised, but to the extent that characters were written out entirely. The BLUE KNIGHT teratology comes to mind as the best example, & I think I may have covered this in another thread, but here is an example:
After Atom & family move, not into their own home, but Higeoyaji's after Atom rescues them from the warehouse, Atom continues his anti-human attitudes, & is rebuked for them. Atom decides to run away from home, & takes BOTH Cobalt & Uran along. But when the air force pursues them, Atom accidentally drops the suitcase with Cobalt in it. Then, we see Cobalt standing in the open case, as Tawashi yells at him.
CROPPING: I think that what was reprinted in the little manga books I have & in the DH comes from larger panels, as sometimes I noted that while the DH may have cropped the left or right edges, its panels have more detail in height. So, suppose the original panel was 4 by 9, & the JLV reprint has it 3 by 9, while the DH has 4 by 7. An example is that among the stars discussing Uran's upcoming fight as Sapphire, though the DH has only her arm in the panel:

Note the difference:

The JLV is wider, where the detail really counts, but the ELV has more height. Also, for those REALLY familiar with Sapphire, it may have been apparent that she was out of the frame, but most would fail to note her presence.
I cannot identify the man, unless he is Sherlock Holmspun.
