Does anyone know what the decision to use this alternate track order was based on? Possibly an early track listing for the album?

Looks like the Q8 running order was adjusted just enough to even up the length of the two programs and no more, by simply swapping two songs round. Whereas someone went nuts on the DTS CD.
 
I agree with Owen that time issues were the reason for switching songs on the 8-track. That was very common with all 8-tracks. But the DTS track layout? Just strange. I can't think of another example with an album that mixed up (except for maybe a re-issue of an old album or two by a dubious label that titles the reissue something like "Best Of.." or "Greatest Hits" but is really just the songs re-ordered). Labels can get away with that with obscure artists, but McCartney?
 
At least they managed to keep Venus and Mars joined to Rockshow!
