Take a look and see if those are *.centos* packages.  There are several
packages which have some changes from the RHEL packages.  These changes
are usually trademark issues, pictures/logos, web links, etc.

There are several .centos RPMS (65 {out of 1156} RPMS in CentOS-3.4 ...
40 RPMS {out of 1404} in CentOS-4) ... those numbers are for i386 for
each version.
