I'm not sure there is a specific answer to that.
The attached image is the first and last pages of of the true first publication of Okie. It covers the first 2 chapters of Earthman, Come Home but is much much shorter. The start in particular is enormously extended in the novel. It looks like Blish rewrote the short stories from the ground up.
Note to mods: if anyone thinks that the images might infringe something or other then just delete them preferably after ElMiko has seen them.
