Maybe, but some castes do not have different gotras.

Forget Manusmriti. We have differing versions of Ramayana and Mahabharata itself. Though not as significant. There are critical editions but I don't see the traditional guys using them. This was the case for bible and quran too though they are using standard versions now though.

There exists no single manusmriti. There are multiple manuscripts and each differing widely from other. It also has been shown that manusmriti was never in use in south, Yajnavalkya smriti on the other hand might have been from archeological evidences.
