I didn't check that the files are bit-identical, but my understanding is that the "old" revisions of the deblobbing scripts are available here: https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/old/ Of course, adding this to the list of URIs in linux-libre-deblob-scripts won't help users of old Guix revisions... Software Heritage and other archives that support content-addressed lookups are the only solution for that.
