As mentioned by both John Divelbiss and Bernd, the chondrules in NWA978 do look more rounder then the other two. They seem to shrink in size with the different classifications, which one would exspect. Neither NWA753 or NWA978 look too much NWA800, but their does seem to be different weathering in the three. The photo linked at the bottom shows a closer photo of the dark spot on my NWA978, which is close in color to my NWA800. The NWA753 I purchased from Blaine Reed. The NWA978 and NWA800 from the Hupes. My thoughts on these meteorites at the moment is nuetral and my slices are somewhat small but I thought others might want to compare them, either to their own slices or between themselves.
The following photos posted on my Yahoo photo album can be seen by looking the the (very long) UHL addresses after the meteorite name....or number I guess.
