The original King James version included the apocrypha, which are found in the Catholic versions, but booksellers realized they could sell more copies if they left out the apocrypha. That’s why most copies today don’t have the apocrypha.
They did try to align them. Mark original ends at the Tomb, eventually scribes started adding details post-tomb to Mark. Which is why the Mark Gospel we have now reads like it has three separate endings.
It also includes contradictions on pretty much every part of the gospels in relation to each other but, to be fair, that’s the case in all of them.
Does beg the question of why they didn’t align them when they had the chance. Some times the word of God is more malleable than others I guess.
