There's another interesting thing about the CBS copies of the "memos" and the USA Today copies: On one of the memos which CBS released, certain passages are underlined by hand, giving the impression that Killian was emphasizing those passages. But in the USA Today copy of the same memo, they're not underlined!

It seems that CBS was marking up their copies of the memo before scanning it for release. Ditto for the half-assed "redacting" of W's address -- it's poorly blacked out on the CBS copy, but not blacked out at all on the USA Today copy.

The same "underlined" memo also had odd discrepancies in the "initials" or whatever they are on the lower right corner of the page (the CBS copy they look like they say something like "Berf"). However, they appear to be entirely different on the CBS copy of the memo as opposed to the USA Today copy of the same memo.

IF these were typed on a typewriter sentences would end unevenly. When you got to 5 spaces before the end of a sentence with a typewriter a bell rang to alert you that you were running out of space. If the word you were typing was longer than those 5 spaces you had to do a carriage return to start the new line or hypenate the word you were typing. Word wrap eliminates this problem.

I think they're the same. In the CBS version, it's cut off by margins on the right and on the bottom.
