I didn't check that the files are bit-identical, but my understanding is
that the "old" revisions of the deblobbing scripts are available here:
https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/old/
Of course, adding this to the list of URIs in linux-libre-deblob-scripts
won't help users of old Guix revisions... Software Heritage and other
archives that support content-addressed lookups are the only solution
for that.
