10.13.3 Full Installer diff between build 17D2047 and 17D47

We see two Install High Sierra versions on SUS: build 17D2047 and 17D47.
So we looked into the 091-62779.English.dist and 091-62780.English.dist respectively (- diff below).

Build 17D2047 (SUS 091-62779) is for boardIds = 'Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94' which is the iMac Pro

So if you are creating your Install High Sierra.app for machines other than iMac Pros, use 091-62780

Hope that helps.

Thanks. Just ran into this issue with Greg's python script and didn't know which version to select.
