It's feasible that the originals were scanned into a OCR (Optical Character Recognition) package which would scan individual characters and substitute modern fonts.
The only reason for doing so, would be to EDIT the document, changing it's content.
Once the content was changed, they are FALSE! Let's see the originals, if they even exist.

If anyone has ever used OCR, then I'm sure they also had the occasional change of characters, also. I'm not talking about fonts, but actually changing letters such as "ln" to "h" or "in" to "m" or "cl" to "d". This was common, (at least when I used mine), and I don't see any substituted character indicating an OCR scan. Of course the new theory will be that they corrected them. *yawn* Where's my PJs?
