Detailed ?? Surely, Edward, you must have your tongue firmly planted in
your cheek ?!

The only consistent difference I've seen has been capitalization at the
beginning of quotations and quasi-quotations, as well as sub-sections
within quotations. For example, compare the "quotes" in Matt 21. Also
compare Matt 20:31; 21:10 for a "quote", but not from the OT.
Another interesting phenomenon, which I've not chased extensively, is the
divergence concerning place names between the texts, represented by their
capitalization or lack thereof; eg., Matt 21:1.
