Here we can see that the lower half of the font definitions are the same with the exception of the zero character which has had the diagonal removed.

The upper half is completely different, being used by the Domesday System to define a miniature set of characters, which are effectively half the width of the normal character set. These are used when the Domesday System is in mode 2 for drawing graphs and charts which has only 20 characters per line, to increase the amount of text which can fit on the screen back up to 40 characters per line.
