Most of the components were carried over. Block II added more
components such as docking hardware,tunnel and rendezvous equipment .
Also modifications
necessary for compatibility with the LM, structural changes to reduce
weight or improve CSM center of gravity, and critical systems
changes.

...Yeah, and IIRC there were quire a few Block I components that
continued to be tested after Block I was canned for suitability in
either Block II and/or the possibility of using Block I leftover
capsules for any Apollo Applications Projects that required an
unmanned capsule. Might be a question to pose over on Secret Projects
with regards to AAP possibly using Block I leftovers.
Jorge? Any known concise lists of components that carried over
directly from Block I to Block II with little or no modification?

Correct. I'd argue there were enough difference between Block I and Block
II to matter here.

...Greg, I'm actually drawing a blank here on this one. I *know* there
were some testing on Apollo components that were declared cancelled
and/or obsolete, but I can't goddamn remember any specific ones. Are
we referring primarily to Block I hardware in this case?

Another drop test of the recovery system ended up the same way the first
one did, with a smashed test capsule:
