For info, there's a bunch of stuff that you can do with Overpass to see 
the state of an object on a certain date, for example:

[date:"2017-08-25T00:17:06Z"];
way(300069227);
out geom;

Also it might be worth considering using the dev site 
https://master.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org/ (or even your own hosted OSM 
API) if you want to try an extensive test of "see what this looks 
like".  As James has already said, the main OSM site is constantly 
subject to fixes and corrections by everyone - that's kind of the point :)

For example, I used the dev API here to experiment with the mapping of 
drop kerbs etc.:
