Mormon 7 – 8
When Nephi speaks of the two records confirming each other he speaks as if those who believe the record of Judah should find it possible to believe the record of Joseph. When Mormon speaks of it here it sounds like those who are the seed of Joseph would recognize their history in the record of Joseph and should then be able to accept the record of Judah. I don’t mean to suggest that only one of those could be correct, just to note that they felt like they had different intimations.
Moroni must have gained access to ore in the decades after he first wrote because he leaves the impression here that the plates were nearly full but he still ends up adding the entire abridgment of the record of Ether.
