Questions Concerning Differences in Manuscript Evidence

Greek Manuscript listings for the Comma Johanneum in 1 John 5:7
as listed in “A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament”
by Bruce Metzger©

			1st Ed. 1971                                       2nd Ed. 1994__
			MS 	Date				MS	    Date	    
			61	16th C				61   early 16th C
			88vr, lh 	12th C 				88vr, lh16th   14th C
			629	14-15C 			221vr, lh    10th C
			635vr,lh 17th 11C 			429vr, lh    16th C
								636vr, lh    16th C
		 						918         16th C
		 						2318       18th C

Note: vr = variant(marginal) reading, lh = later hand
Questions:
1)  Why aren’t MSS 629 and 635 also listed in the second edition; was there a
typographical error
that transposed 629 to 429, and 635 to 636? 
2)  Why and how does the dating for MSS 61 and 88 change (and possibly 629,
429, 635,& 636).
