Just saw this post at Fantasy Grounds for more info:

The map count is the same, though the outside one is merged with one of them and another has been done elsewhere. These particular maps seem to line up along with the labelling of the adventure's isometric maps themselves, and they effectively provide the same purpose as Zacchaeus' ones. That said, these are obviously better quality because that artist has probably had far more time spare to put into them, of which any number of the artists here could do if they had the time, including Zacchaeus. There's slight visual alignment issues with some of the outdoors sections when compared to the other maps in the same set, but otherwise they seem to more or less provide the same need, though perhaps a bit closer visually to the isometric ones. Either way, both would serve the same purpose, so it more or less comes down to how visually accurate you want your maps to be compared to the isometric ones and if you want the map to align with the bridge to the west as it should, or to the north as Zacchaeus has done it.

To add...I've examined both packs carefully, and each of them covers the castle fully as expected, just a difference in visuals, alignment, and layout. The maps on the website compared to the module are as follows:

Curse of Strahd 2 3 - Walls of Ravenloft with Main Floor
Curse of Strahd 2 4 - Walls of Ravenloft with Court of the Count
Curse of Strahd 2 5 - Walls of Ravenloft with Rooms of Weeping
Curse of Strahd 2 6 - Walls of Ravenloft with Spires of Ravenloft
Curse of Strahd 2 7 - Walls of Ravenloft with Spires of Ravenloft
Curse of Strahd 2 8 - Walls of Ravenloft with Spires of Ravenloft
Curse of Strahd 2 9 - Walls of Ravenloft with North Tower Peak
Curse of Strahd 2 10 - Walls of Ravenloft with High Tower Peak
Curse of Strahd 11 - Larders of Ill Omen
Curse of Strahd 12 - Dungeon and Catacombs

Strahd2 = Walls of Ravenloft
Strahd3 = Main Floor
Strahd4 = Court of the Count
Strahd5 = Rooms of Weeping
Strahd6 = Spires of Ravenloft
Strahd7 = Spires of Ravenloft
Strahd8 = Spires of Ravenloft with North Tower Peak and High Tower Peak
Strahd11 = Larders of Ill Omen
Strahd12 = Dungeon and Catacombs
Strahd13 = Dungeon and Catacombs

Regardess, I'd like to see these ones here turned into a module...but I can't seem to get the grid perfectly aligned with the one the artist had drawn on the maps - which has led to disappointment and disinterest in their use.
