Not that anybody has ever heard of "counter bugs" in IOS before... :-)

This IOS is ancient.  

I have not seen obvious counter bugs of this sort on our 6500s yet, 
but the oldest IOS we've ever used there is SXF.  So it might or might
not be an old-IOS-bug...

If you sum up *other* interfaces on these boxes, or compare the
interface byte counters, do they agree with the GSR or the 6500?  (Since
the values are *so* different, just getting a rough idea from looking
at the interface counters every 5 minute and calculating the average
bandwidth by hand should suffice)
