Can't help it, I've been mucking about with game code, mods, and hacks since the days of my Coleco ADAM computer... (Google it)
The simple answer is the code from SH3 was used to save time in making SH4, slightly modified of course to create the Pacific campaign, and the graphics were 'improved'.

One of the first pre-release movies about SH4 proudly displayed the large amount used to achieve a more realistic behaving ocean.

Back to your issue, there are many files that are not used that are still in the file structure.

Yep, Coleco ADAM - just before I had any interest in computers... the end of that decade (80's) I forced myself to buy a computer and learn how to use it.... lol
