A question about L-Galaxies data (TNG300)

Hello, I have a question about the galactic coordinate data of the L-Galaxy in TNG300. Firstly, for the three redshift slices (z=0.1, 0.5, and 1) of TNG300-1, the 3D coordinate ranges of the galaxies are all from 0 to 205 Mpc. However, after downloading the corresponding L-Galaxy data, I noticed that the coordinate ranges for galaxies in these three redshift slices are different. For redshift 0.1, the 3D coordinate range of the galaxies is 0–225.5 Mpc; for redshift 0.5, it is 0–307.5 Mpc; and for redshift 1, it is 0–410 Mpc. i wanna know why the range is different between them. thanks

Is it possibly related to the values of h (little Hubble constant) or a (the scale factor), i.e. related to the units of the coordinates?

Thank you. I will go back and check if this is the cause.
