For example, in FMAB, there isn't an episode dedicated towards Edward's State Alchemist test, but in the original, there's that whole scene where they're impressed that he didn't use a circle and he saves that one random's life and etc.
The FMA OVA did not follow the manga. FMAB follows the manga. Any changes made between the two series, from FMA OVA to FMAB are in favor of the original plot from the manga.
