I've tried another experiment (* in the path matches "28" and "30"):
# diffoscope /.zfs/snapshot/2021-04-*-01:40:48-0/bin/sh
$<3/>2021-05-03 21:08:48 W: diffoscope.main: Fuzzy-matching is currently =
disabled as the "tlsh" module is unavailable.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb7 in position 18: =
invalid start byte
The two older snapshots of a Boot Environment have
bin/sh files that compare equal. But every program I
tried the above sort of thing against on got the same
UnicodeDecodeError result from diffoscope, byte value
and position matching.
These snapshots have more than an installworld in them
and so are messy to compare overall. But the
installworld (and installkernel) content show similar
differences to what I reported before as far as
example files with differences go. But this is aarch64,
not armv7.
It will still be notable time before I have simple
installworld tree's to compare.
