Quickly looking at the two layouts, they are pretty much the same. 1M is there as pulldown resistor, anti-pop measure when switching it on and off

What are your germanium transistors hfe and leakages? Also, what's your 2N3904 hfe? I found that ones I got from Tayda had much higher HFE that ones from other sources (400 against something like 200-240).
Can you post your voltages for all the transistors? With the stab fully CW so supplying full 9V or so.

Not sure about recommended Q1 hfe but Q2, Q3 should normally follow your usual Fuzz Face set. So something like 70 for Q2 and 90  for Q3 in terms of hfe should be just about right.
