Just replacing the contents will not work if the chunk size is not identical or if when interpreting the contents in pairs of 4 byte values, the first value of each pair in both files does not match.
Or when expressed using https://wowdev.wiki/M2#AFID_.28Legion.2B.29: anim_id and sub_anim_id need to match when just replacing. Otherwise, only file_id shall be replaced with ids linked to filenames that are overwritten. It doesn’t matter what file is overwritten. if the count of entries in the new file is bigger than the old, more files have to be overwritten, again it is irrelevant which, as long as the file id you give in the chunk and the id for your replaced file name match up.

It seems the chunk size is larger in Aggramar's file than with the stonekeeper, but the the first value is the same.
I'm assuming by anim_id and sub_anim_ids, you mean these:

Aggramar's model has more animations, and when going into the "stand" anims, I see this:

However, the stonekeeper model only has 1 stand anim:

Everything I said relates to the AFID chunk only. You do not need to look at the rest of the file.

Creatures are entirely new for me. Like I said before, if you've a discord, perhaps we could discuss this in more detail there?
