Yeah, the drops there are the same in normal and Hard. You just can get more shards/energy. And you could get an additional chance at a drop like armor + weapon or weapon + shards. Or some combination like that.
The end game, at Crota, is where the true differences in loot drops come into play from normal and hard.
One example, you cannot attain Black Hammer on Hard Raid. That is only a Normal boss battle Crota weapon drop.

Yeah, Crota drops the Primaries on Hard, and the special/heavy in normal. I know that for a fact because I was trying to get a Song of Ir Yut and a Light of the Abyss to complete my collection prior to RoI launching (I knew I was going to delete Destiny and stop playing when RoI launched because I had no plans to buy it).

Lol, maybe I'm wrong. That does sound right but for some reason I swear the first weapons I got were the primaries Abyss and Oversoul. And, with not exactly having a lot of friends, I would try to solo parts of the normal raid. Until I eventually found groups.

The hard raid isn't that much different from the normal for the first 2 phases. Would be easy to mix them up.
