I had heard years ago that the Apocrypha was omitted by printers trying to save money, since it wasn't part of the canon. There are probably other reasons.
Also, the original KJV as first published spelled many words different from the current one. I think you can find a scan on Archive.
BTW, in those early printed Bibles, the printers tried to save type in their typesetting by using abbreviations. One of the most misunderstood ones was they way they abbreviated "the" and another word or two that started with "th." There was an old letter that resembled "y." They would shorten up thousands of words and save a lot of type, ink, and paper. But now people don't know that "ye olde" really means "the old."
