Event rows are not automatically individual devices or independently verified facts. Grouped tests can contain multiple devices. The exact CSV contains 715 Soviet Union rows, while the companion report states 714 and says a disputed 1979 Vela row was included; the exact CSV has no row dated 1979-09-22. The discrepancy remains open.
