Wait. This is really interesting. So your original volume file and volume file you recovered both produce SAME exact checksum, yet one can be opened with the password, while the other can't be opened with the same password? What are the odds of that happening?

Before you look into another recovery solution, rememebr that the chances of you recovering files now are very low. The only way your files still have some hope is that before attempting to recover you made a clone of hdd and left it alone. If you were attempting to recover on the same drive and has been working with it for so long, the data was likely overwritten to the point it is permanently lost. So keep that in mind before you look into expensive recovery solutions. It may be a complete waste...

No. You can't be sure that files are identical because of their size. You can only be sure that files are identical if you compare checksums of original files and checksums of the recovered files. Files being exactly the same size doesn't mean they are identical. Succesfully recovering excel or jpg file is much easier, becuase these files have recognisable structure, known headers ,footers, which recovery software can easily pick on. But veracrypt volume ( to my knowledge) has no distringuishable...
