I'm not sure what you're looking for, but the drives send the directory in
the form of a program with load address and link addresses.  The first
part of each line (the blocks used) are sent as line numbers.  These are
all in hex, not ascii. 

The directory is loaded into memory as a program, which you can then list.
The normal relinking of lines takes place on loading, so the load address
and link address are not actually used, but the program load routine is
looking for them, so something must be there.  This may account for the
differences you mentioned.

This assumes that you are reading the directory through the normal load
channel (secondary address 0 or 1; I don't remember which. One is load and
the other is save.)  If you are loading with any other secondary address,
you get the actual contents of the directory sectors in binary.
