The first time I viewed Drive A from a 10.3.7 boot volume. This is
how it
looked:

Next, I booted from a 10.4.8 volume. Again, these are the same
files from
Drive A.

Can someone explain this to me?
The filesystem stores the numerical user-id, not the name. So there
is a lookup to find the name that corresponds to the numerical user-
id. That lookup uses the user account info of the system that you are
booted on.
Try using the "-n" option to 'ls' to see the numerical user-id's.
