al-Baqara 72

Many think that all King Fuʾād Editions are the same.
Idiots say: The Cairo Edition is The Cairo Edition.
Many think that the King Fahd Complex ("Madina") has only one Ḥafṣ edition by ʿUṯmān Ṭaha.
On the top right Gizeh24, left Būlāq52:
four different (new) pause signs, only two that stayed the same.
And look at the zai in ʿazīz (3:5 last line): the alternative (swash) form.
On the left, beneath Būlāq52 an early Damaszene ʿUṯmān Ṭaha (UT0):
all pause signs ‒ and the swash zai ‒ the same as 1952.
On the right below Gizeh24 UT1: changed by the King Fahd Complex.
Alternative/swash form is gone, pauses are different (all لا are gone).
In the third line UT2, the form ʿUṯmān Ṭaha wrote in this (Gregorian) century in Madina.
Nowhere the KFC has explained why and how they differ from Būlāq52.
