RSC budget vote flippers

As we yesterday, a number of Republicans who inherently oppose the budget still wanted to go on record as RSC, vote for this report, switched their votes of no to aye when she realized that the Democrats would not vote for presenting and let it pass.  This stratagem was orchestrated by the GOP whip team.  Here is a list of the vote switchers (from the Congressional Record) that supported the RSC-budget, but only after it was clear that it would never pass:

Gentlemen RIVERA, HARPER, THOMPSON of Pennsylvania, Mrs. ELLMERS, Mr SHIMKUS, HUNTER, HULTGREN, MICA, FINCHER, COFFMAN of Colorado, TIPTON, Ms. FOXX, gentlemen OLSON, MURPHY of Pennsylvania, SHUSTER, BUCSHON and changed their vote from "no" to "aye."

In addition, four members switched from aye on no; Gentlemen DREIER WALZ, BILIRAKIS and young of Florida.

I was curious to see which members voted for the budget this year but not last year, and vice versa:
