So how different are the samples from what we have today?

These ones are from the far side. The ones we had were from the near side.

Right. So how different are they really? I might not expect much of a different. Maybe gravity has compacted the surface there more? Maybe more crater impacts?

The far side of the moon is the side that will see the most asteroid hit I am guessing.
