Totally different. I too have the 1979 facsimile version and it is even structured differently than the above.

I just re-read the 1860 version a few evenings ago when I noticed that Hansen does not have it in his book. He refers to it as "was not found." Interestingly, the plats are very different from each other. The 1860 version is very sparse, leaves out the main gate through the low barrack (even though both plats add one at the east end of the building) and yet shows the west wall buildings as two separate structures of two rooms each. The 1878 plat (as per Hansen) adds and numbers cannon, shows the porte-cochere entrance, details the long barrack and eastern courtyards better and yet shows the west wall rooms as four long adjoining rooms in a building the runs from the northwest corner nearly to the 18 pounder, as per Giraud. This latter Potter plat is the one we are all familiar with. The first is odd. The 1860 plat highlights the eastern *wing* of the convento and labels it "P." His key says "(P) locates an upper room in the south-east angle of said barrack." Later he says "Bowie had been severely hurt by a fall from a platform, and, when the attack came on, was confined to his bed in an upper room of the barrack marked (P)." By 1878, however, he conforms to Ruiz' location for Bowie.
