To be honest I don't know nor have I seen the kata you mention therefore
anything I might say would be worthless or even less. I don't really know
where all the kata came from ( with a few exceptions ) Miyagi Chogun
modified the kata so much that they virtually became new kata in many cases.
From a historical perspective it is important where the kata originated but
for practical purposes I don't think it measn all that much.
