How the editions frame it

How language editions frame the same subject (critical / neutral / sympathetic). Gaps are a signal to inspect, not a conclusion.

Across editions, the framing differ moderately (divergence 1.00 on a 0–2 scale).

Across the rewrite. Before the major rewrite the editions largely agreed on framing; afterward, the English edition moved away from them. That divergence-at-a-rewrite is the strongest kind of lead.

Do the editions agree on facts?

Whether editions agree on load-bearing facts (counts, categories). Contradictions — especially ones later corrected — are worth checking.
