if there are word differences, I'm sure there are "experts" in this forum who has well-studied the issue. So, hold on.

There are tiny differences in all editions since 1769, including in spelling. Also, any deliberate change within the KJB to standardise the spelling or correct a printer mistake is a "revision". It is an "editorial revision", not updating the underlying text or the translation.
The "1769" is not a "final answer", look at
