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

drwxrwxr-x 45 root admin 1530 29 May 2002 Applications


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.
