Poul Anderson's Technic History includes some texts that have been revised to fit them into this future history series. Similarly, Anderson's For Love And Glory, which was potentially a new series, contains revised versions of Anderson's two contributions to the multi-authored Isaac's Universe (or Isaac Asimov's Universe) series.
At least in the opening passages, only the names have been changed:
Inga becomes Ilis;
Harul Vargen becomes Gerward Valen;
Laurice Windfell becomes Lissa Windholm;
the Brettan people become the Brusan people;
the planet, Ather, is renamed "Asborg";
the Ronaic Alps become the Hallan Alps;
"Erthuma settlement" becomes "human settlement";
a spaceship name is changed from "Darya" to "Dagmar";
etc.
Having recently reread FLAG closely, I will decision-make as to whether to continue to check the two texts for any further comparisons.

Kaor, Paul!
And of course any COMPLETE COLLECTED WORKS OF POUL ANDERSON should include the original texts of the two stories Anderson revised for FOR LOVE AND GLORY. Perhaps those two stories and FLAG should be in a volume of their own. With some appropriate editorial comments explaining their origins and why they differ.
