Richard,

You write:

The first two have their own version if the SD (1-vol & 2-vol) and
the third group sells both versions but they each have the same
content.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Well, actually the third group (TPH Wheaton) sells their own
version which was edited by Boris de Zirkoff as part of the
COLLECTED WRITINGS series.  It has the same pagination as the
original 2 volume work but BdeZ edited the wording and formatting, etc.
This version also includes a 3rd volume which is an index of the first 
2 volumes plus a bibliography of all works HPB cited in the SD.

TUP Pasadena and Theosophy Co. Los Angeles offer photographic 
facsimiles of the original SD edition.

You also comment:

--------------------------------------------------------
Regrettably, the masters abandoned the TS when HPB passed away which
gives one pause about just who is the arbiter of ancient wisdom and
the TS.
--------------------------------------------------------

Can you share with us why you think the masters abandoned the TS after 
HPB died?
