Without actually seeing your actual data it is nearly impossible to help 
you diagnose this issue. Especially since your results seem to match your 
descriptions (4 rows of data in one table = 4 rows of results if you do it 
one way....)

Please post your table structures (SHOW CREATE TABLE xxx\G) and your 
sample data (SELECT * FROM xxx;), then show us what you think your queries 
SHOULD have given you (your expected results) and we can start to help. 
The xxx in the sample commands was just a placeholder for the actual table 
names of your data.
