I remember something Chris talked about many many years ago. That Barcrest used a lot of ‘Red Herrings’ in the chr check.  Could this be the case with what you are finding on the real hardware Andrew?

On the MPU4 I've seen some routines that really seemed to jump about more than is necessary - I'm not a machine code pro, but it certainly felt like it had been intentionally obfuscated to some extent!

Although thinking about it, he could've been referring to the 'dummy signatures' - on some ROMs (can't remember which right now), they have a bunch of copies of the old style sig that don't do anything, meanwhile using an alternative - might've been Blue Moon...can't check right now :)
