looks to me like they were traced with subtly different projections
that supposedly were squared up but didn't quite fit.

E.g., Interesting factoid i just picked up - Warsaw Pact and NATO used
the same primary meridians etc for their UTM grids, but minorly
different geoids, optimize for their areas of interest, so you can't
directly use one side'gmap posits to call artillery of the other  ...
or plot their textual minefield on your map.
