Köҫök Hafiz Osman = Haǧǧ Ḥāfiẓ ʿUṯmān Ḫalīfa QayišZāde an-Nūrī al-Burdurī (Hac Hattat Kayışzade Hafis Osman Nûri Efendi Burdurlu, d. 4.Ramaḍān 1311/ 11.March 1894) wrote 106 1/2 maṣāḥif.
BülÜk Hafiz Osman (1052/1642‒1110/1698) wrote only 25 (but many En’am-ı Şerif, and hilyeler) One on 815 pages (plus prayer, index, colophon) was often reprinted in Syria ‒ in Egypt mostly as reference in lengthy commentaries.
In Turkey one finds hundreds of different "reprints".

On the left you see a Syrian print (HO the Elder, twelve lines per pages, 815 pages) from before 1950 with many signs that are later missing:
small hā' and yā' for five and ten (fifteen, twenty and so on)
small two letter signs always including bā' giving information about Baṣrī verse numbering
small dotless letters under or above a dotless letter stressing its dotlessnes.

the first was changed by the modern Turkish editors (see the page on the right), because the letters and signs do not follow right-to-left clearly enough.
the second one (modern edition) show a different rasm ‒
a rasm by the way used by the same calligrapher in the other (the "Syrian") muṣḥaf:
