I don't know about that, I've done xdelta's of only minorly changed ISOs
and they can be quite a large size difference. Although I'd like to
take an additional crack at it with xdelta3 (xdelta uses a similar
approach to rsync)
Someone with both ISOs should run an xdelta for us and see how small a
diff/xdelta could be generated.
