Well, here is a third one:
http://www.itu.int/cgi-bin/htsh/mm/scripts/generic.list?_n=COUNTRIES&_foto=y&_foto_del=y
The intended difference between the first two seems to be that one of them contains only member countries of the ITU - which of course does not contain the Netherlands Caribbean, as that is not an independent country nor a UN or ITU member. The other list contains "countries and territories" for practical purposes and includes most of the little stuff that DXers love to log.
Indeed all three lists have reverted to BUL and HOL and turned Myanmar into MYA (ex MMR ex-ex BRM). Apparently someone needs to be kept very busy with thinking about good abbreviations.
