you have RIS 1.5, don't bother trying to build it as that set does not
have enough parts even though it can be built with RIS 1.0.
Specifically, the design calls for 8 12-t gears but RIS 1.5 only
comes with 5.  There may be  a shortage of other necessary parts.

Does anyone have an inventory of both sets that they can compare
so we know exactly what the differences are?

Go to the O'Reilly's web site and read the addendum on it. It explains
exactly what to do.
