Since all these 4 words are in HP71B Forth, what are their difference?
Or @ and ! are just there and the same than N@ and N! ?

I was not sure about this either as I am just learning to use my HP-71. Looking at the HP-71 FORTH manual just now I see they specified the differences up front in the manual on pages 13-14. The problem of what is the size of a data type is somewhat common, especially on older systems. Not only in FORTH but in C for example it would not be uncommon for the size of an INT to vary from platform to platform, so the programmer has to keep this in mind.
