No reason for apologies....

For someone familiar with the tar archive format, it takes less than 30 seconds 
to understand what's happening (even though the "hdump -a" output would make it 
easier to see the problem).

BTW: Your previous assumption that there was a change in the gtar archive 
format could be proven from the output you sent.
