Differences between Gremlins cracks?



With my latest upload to Asimov, there are now three versions of the
Gremlins game archived:

/images/games/action/gremlins.dsk.gz
Crack credit: Sapphire / West Coast Pirates' Exchange
Whole disk image

/images/games/file_based/Gremlins/GammaGoblins_Gremlins_Jellyfish.dsk
Crack credit: Dr. Encinitas
Single file, 184 sectors

/images/games/file_based/Gremlins (Warezird crack), Spinner.dsk
Crack credit: The Warezird
Single file, 185 sectors

The last one was my addition.  I'd like to pick the brain of someone
more knowledgeable than I about the differences between these cracks.
Why the filesize difference?  What were techniques for converting from
whole-disk to a single file?  Presumably The Warezird and Dr.
Encinitas followed at least slightly different processes.
