I'd be curious to see the difference.

Good idea - would be handy to see their old records on archive.
But na, think you would have to go thru country by country to get these now - but they will be "somewhere" on the net and the US Treasury Balance Sheets will show them (but, they still need calculating since they tend to leave items off the main front page stats and stuff them in note sections.)
If it's the US stats you are interested in, can remember the current account stats for about six years ago - the balance then was around -$600 trillion. The real balance now is just under/over -$900 trillion according to the financial press, but that's not set in stone.
