My understanding is that delta_t is the number of data
packets MISSED by your PBASIC program. This occurs
when your code takes longer than the time it takes to
send another data packet (some say 40ms but I thought
it was 25ms -- these are very similar numbers and I can
never hold them straight in my head -- either it is 40
Hz and 25msec or it is 25Hz and 40msec -- somebody help
me out).

Packet number is an index that tells you the index of
the packet of data you just got. It increases by one
each time the OI sends a data packet and it wraps
around every
255 packets.

These two bytes carry the same information, just parsed
a bit differently.
