Yes, presently IA jp2.zip are the source files for all derived ones and for
OCR. All the derived ones are omologous - t.i. *relative* coordinates of
any element inside images are identical, even if image size varies. This
means that mapping of elements (images or text) can be exported into any
derived file.

Just an example: when an user crops an image from a djvu file by the
excellent CropTool by Danmichaelo, coordinated of the cropping  could be
used to crop high-resolution jp2 or jpg image, or to get coordinates of any
piece of  text mapped by OCR.
