They both got another update on Xbox One.
This is correct.
Just checked on XB1, the filesizes are now:
Shenmue 1: 5.0GB
Shenmue 2: 11.3GB
The version number for each game is now showing as v1.3.0.0 instead of v1.2.0.0.
The filesizes from the OP were likely partial, it's common for preloads to have a majority (but incomplete) amount of data early on (in this case around 3 quarters of it) before adding in the rest of the data closer to launch.
I believe/heard bits and pieces that this is a rule set forth from the platform holder to reduce the amount needed to be downloaded closer to launch (with shenmue it's negligible but it helps games in the 40gb-100gb territory). There were also cases of data-mining concerns when information got leaked over certain titles like GTAV (when the tracklist was leaked early) and to prevent cases where these titles are listed incorrectly and are available early/for free (or both at the same time!)
