Lightspeed circuit board...Mach1 or Ludicrous Overdrive?

Hi Everybody, this my 2nd post...
I've had some good luck in assembling my first two Aion Overdrive kits, and think that I'd like to try to put together a Lightspeed clone to see how close it can get to my Greer

It looks like there are two different available PCBs out there, the Mach1, and the Ludicrous Speed Overdrive.

I noticed from the pictures of the PCBs that they have different numbers of components, with one having an additional diode, and the other having a couple more resistors and cap than the other.

Does anyone know if either of these PCBs are accurate to the Original?

Welcome!

Not sure exactly what you're looking at, but I count exactly the same number of diodes, caps and resistors in both those projects.  Same also for Fuzz Dog's version.  And for the one I drew up myself from who-knows-where.  And at effectslayouts.  The only difference I've spotted is a symmetrical VREF in the GuitarPCB version (instead of slightly elevated), and a linear tone pot on one.
