im assuming 164527 is original because it has an instrument text which 65044 doesn have..

"Yes and no", Music Contest entries were anonymous and to help with that, all sample texts were cleared. So the file with no texts is the MC5 file, while the one with texts was released after the results were out.

Might also want to take a look at these:

This is the original one (garddrag.mod).

Here are the duplicates:
gdragon.mod
guardian.mod

Updating this to confirm that these are now redirected to the original module (403 redirect), with links removed upon confirmation.

Thank you. In fact neither of them can really be considered the original, as they are all memory rips. But I did go with the oldest copy in the archive as suggested.

Thanks for the assistance! I'll let you know when there are more of them; who knows, they could be anywhere 

[Saga Musix]

There definitely are.

https://modarchive.org/module.php?169376 and https://modarchive.org/module.php?133683 are pretty much of the same.

https://modarchive.org/module.php?169372 and https://modarchive.org/module.php?142587 are pretty much of the same too.

https://modarchive.org/module.php?134959 has title (seemingly automatically) filled in from the filename, while https://modarchive.org/module.php?169375 doesn't seem to have it (likely more original)

[Saga Musix]

All merged.

Dupes:

The Zen Garden by Basehead
https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=63700
https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=70385

Seems the only difference is contact info added to one version.

[Saga Musix]

Merged.

https://modarchive.org/module.php?192274 and https://modarchive.org/module.php?70096 are dupes of https://modarchive.org/module.php?52707
