Use SAS to find the actual physical block size of the two files:

<SNIP>

And for those of us that do not have SAS, you can use IDCAMS:

//IDCAMS   EXEC PGM=IDCAMS                    
//SYSUT1   DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=??????,           
//             DCB=(RECFM=U,LRECL=32760)      
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                       
//SYSIN    DD  *                              
  PRINT DUMP IFILE(SYSUT1) COUNT(?)           
/*                                            
//                                            

Where you replace the "??????" with the actual DSN and the "?" with the
number of blocks you are willing to look at.
