The documentation of those test cases is several years old.

They're still useful because the spirit of the test remains the same, I
wouldn't not expect the details to agree at the level of comparison
you're performing.

So don't worry about being unable to exactly reproduce the graphs; that
is not unexpected.

Best,
Josiah
