After retrieving the memory of one of Schmitz's men, as the Directorate Colonel is talking about capturing Cora D, he picks up a metal tool which is covered in blood on the end.

When Barb is fighting Kreb's bodyguards, as she fights with the second one, she boots him to the floor, and them stands on his crotch. The bodyguard has blue suspenders on.

In addition the gray jacket he wears also changes position.
When Barb is fighting Kreb's bodyguards, one is walking thought the hole in the mattress (just before Barb kicks him, and he then attacks her with a chair.)

But in the next shot as he enters the room, the floor is now free from feathers.
