JSW_ST.SNA just has the room layouts from the ST version; I didn't
copy the item table or guardian definitions. So what you're seeing is
the Spectrum JSW items in the ST JSW rooms.

OK; I've now done a proper migrator that migrates rooms, items,
guardians, sprites and a few other things; download jsw_st.zip from
the files area.

Going the other way (Spectrum -> ST) is not as easy, because the ST
JSW engine is a little more limited. For example, it's hardcoded to
have 83 items and though it might be possible to reduce that number,
it can't be increased. Similarly with sprites; the ST engine supports
178 sprites, which is the number in the original JSW; whereas a
fully-loaded JSW48 game can have up to 240.
