Confused by EAX Sound Mod - TMO BH Update + OTC

[ESPY]

After playing with the old versions of TMO 2.5 with RSRD and OTC 1.5 I decided I wanted to try some of the more recent mods and started with BubbleHead1980's BH Update to TMO to try out the night surface attacks. I really like this version, but also really missed some of the features that OTC brought to TMO.

Then I found Bartholomew Roberts' mod that allows you to add OTC on top of BH's TMO Update. But I'm really confused by what sounds I'm ending up with as they are definitely different than what I had with just TMO BH Update.

TMOBHU enables "EAX_Clang_Splash_Dud for TMO Update." OTC seems to then alter the sounds back to what I was used to before trying the BH Update. But then Barty's mod includes the additional mod "OTC_EAX_Clang_Splash_Dud for TMO Update compatible" and then the final patch for Bartholomew's mod provides a new Sh.sdl file. The documentation doesn't really call out when in the order to apply the sound mods and whether to do it along with the original from BH.

After a couple different attempts at the mod order, I still end up with what seems like the original TMO+OTC sounds and I can't figure out how to use BH's EAX version. And it appears that both BH and Bartholomew have been away from subsim for a while so I can't ask either directly.

Hoping that somebody familiar with these mods sees this and can help clarify the proper sequence!
