It is curious indeed. I tried with the same video four times in a row
and twice using wget with the same URL and got the same md5sum, but it's
different from any of yours and from the one I got yesterday. The
request to the google server includes lots of identifiers in the query
string, though, and as this changes frequently, perhaps it's used to
watermark the served stream somehow. For what purpose is anyone's
guess...
