Well, why just speculate? Why not take a look at the texts? I've just downloaded both of them and from a quick look here's what I found: My difference checker choked on comparing the files. Line by line they are evidently very dissimilar. A look at the beginnings of the files shows that edition 11 has an opening quote mark that is missing is edition 10. Edition 11 has much of the text re-wraped, which was a good thing I suppose as edition 10 had lots of words broken at the end of a line (probably preserving same line-endings as in the original paper text). So yes, they are different, and edition 11 more closely matches currant PG formatting standards. (Although, personally, I would still change a few things in it.)

I think that both txt editions are identical. somehow no 10 got added twice with different boilerplate. Then the html is a version of the same.
