I wonder if the difference in keys is because the keys of the 
rawClipboardData are platform-specific.

After reading Mark Waddingham's note here last week on a related subject:
http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2017-February/234491.html

...I've come to regard the fullClipboardData as my go-to first choice 
for manipulating Clipboard contents, resorting to rawClipboardData only 
when I need some platform-specific special handling I can't address with 
fullClipboardData.
