They all seem to have one file (BKHD or DDS) before the compressed chunks, but no information about the size of this file or the offset of the chunks.
What a mess...

this is odd to have the same files but not the same content. can you modify your script to unpack them?

Unfortunately not because I don't know where the chunks start (no way to guess the size of this first file) and honestly I have not checked if the script works correctly if that offset is guessed.
Worst case scenario, use offzip to uncompress these archives:

Code: Select all

offzip -a -c 65536 car_02_fmv.sds
