Green machine mods aiming for the Ts808HW

Hey everyone,
I’m about to put together a green machine and I’m wanting to use the DOM for a TS808HW I played one recently and it’s a monster.
The only thing is I’ve noticed some discrepancies and the numbered parts are in a different order so far as I can tell there’s one difference in the Resistors and one in the capacitors. Any insight into where these go would be wonderful, one other thing I was wondering is if there’s a clever way to make the clipping LEDs a switchable mod.
I’m going to attach the DOM for both side by side so you don’t have to hunt it down!
Thanks ahead of time. Also as a bonus the enclosure I’ve already painted.
Thanks again !

That 2m2 is a pulldown resistor. Chances are, the other BOM /schematic just doesn’t have one. TS808 HW= handwired. Also, you kind of already built one if you in fact built one. 👍🏻

Haven’t built it yet ! But yeah I just loved the HW so much so that was my aim as far as components.
 
One of the BOMs has two 47µF caps and a 100nF cap, the other a 47µF and a 100µF. I suspect that both use a 47µF cap as a filter for the VREF and one has a 47µF in parallel with a 100nF cap as the main 9V filtering while the other just uses a single 100µF. Both methods are pretty common in these kinds of circuits. You will often see a 100µF in parallel with a 100nF cap as the main filter as well. In a TS it won't make much difference any way you do it.

This is from a TS-808 style pedal schematic. This is probably what is in the first BOM you showed. C101 could be 100µF and you could leave out C100 if you wanted. I doubt you would hear any difference.
