Yea, we both have run into that roadblock since those are the same sources you're referencing. That's why the original sources are linked, so people can see what data was contributed by those sources if they are interested in doing the same digging.
Hopefully you'll turn up some new sources. Teams/mentors from that era have given me a few of the awards, but no one ever seems to remember what anyone else got.

When looking at the official results, 868 won it at Boilermaker and 234 won it at the Florida Regional (which the award at that event isn't even listed on their website).
234 told me they have the trophy from winning it at Boilermaker.
I only listed that discrepancy because I haven't heard from 868.

Other discrepancies that have been reconciled are not noted in that spreadsheet. Obvious ones such as when teams are listed as winning awards at Regionals the team didn't attend (2003 animation was a notable exception since teams didn't have to attend to submit).
When you start reconciling and cross checking you'll start seeing those.
