Is there a difference between original 1768-71 and 1968-71 facsimile of 1st edition Encyclopaedia Brittanica

Not according to Google.

With the aid of modern technology we have skillfully retained the antique look of hand-set type, the rust marks of age, the watermark of the paper and the richly decorated binding of the original set. Beautifully illustrated with engravings by Andrew Bell, one of the founders of Encyclopaedia Britannica, these three volumes, virtually indistinguishable from the First Edition original, are a book collector's dream.

I'd take "virtually indistinguishable from the First Edition original" as meaning that there were no intentional differences. And Encyclopaedia Britannica Inc are still reprinting this edition.
