What the difference between the different versions of AGNUS?
There's alot of info on the web and across various Amiga forums but seems there is a lot of misinformation out there as well. The Big Book Of Amiga Hardware shows:

Agnus (2MB) 8375 390544-02 A500+ (NTSC), A600 (NTSC)
My question is can I run a 8375 Agnus [Agnus (2MB) 8375 318069-19 A3000 (NTSC), A3000T (NTSC)] in my A3000T which is fitted with a 8372 Agnus [Agnus (2MB) 8372AB 318069-03 A3000 (PAL), A3000T (PAL)]
And if so what are the advantages?
