The copy of Qur'an in the custody of Hafsa was standard

During Abu Bakr’s short reign as Caliph, the Qur’an was collected in a single volume. This was the first complete copy of the Qur’an. It remained with the Caliph until he passed away. It was then kept by the second Caliph, Umar, until he died. Thereafter, it was with Hafsah and remained in her custody as long as she lived. During Uthman’s reign the Qur’an was collated anew, and several copies were written down. When these copies were completed, the first copy that was with Hafsah was used to check their accuracy. A copy was sent to each main population center to serve as the reference copy. Hafsah’s copy was returned to her and remained in her custody until she died.
