JA doesn't contain all the models you see in game. Many models are only shipped with the editing tools. Because when you add a misc_model in a map, it will be turned into map triangles during the compile, essentially rendering the actual md3 unnecessary when the level is launched in game. However, when you use some other misc_model_xxxx form, the model will stay in an entity form, and the game needs the model itself.
I can't verify this information (other than missing model on the original CDs), but I believe it to be true, although I can't anymore remember the source of the information.
Oh yeah. Good shots! Yes, I already praised them at MR...
