I try to answer...
SqueakLight have a long history , as you could read in
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/3935
Was a 3.7 hand cut image and I never put the smallest 3.7 Mb image for
download , but have many ready to run images as old as 2003.
In fact I hope Morphle http://morphle.com/  could let all this images could
be downloaded .
Send mail to Merik for all could see and download /
ComSwiki is a 3.7 image, Morphic 3.0 is also a 3.7 image, all 3.7 image is
smaller as any 3.8 and beyond as I said before.

SqueakLightII is a 3.10 image without
    * Tests-
    * SMLoader
    * SMBase
    * Sunit
    * SUnitGUI
    * ScriptLoader
    * Universes
    * Installer
    * XML-Parser
    * MorphicExtras-Demo
    * Morphic-CandidatesForGo
    * Nebraska
    * EToys 
And in http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6056 you could read how to load many
old and new projects.
I have also a .dev and a FunSqueak based on top the "base" image which is
10.7 Mb

SqueakLightII was build on top of 3.9, using a ReleaseBuilderFor3dot11 class
as Ralph and Bert teach me almost 3 years ago, but with only .cs.
So is not hand cut and have same process as older 3.8 release.

So I could put any valid 3.7 compatible project in "less of 4 mb" and made a
RTS system with it.
Still can't put any 3.10 compatible project in "less of 6 mb", but stay
tuned.

Scratch is 2.x based, no modern tools could run on it and no easy way to
move from Scratch to Squeak 3.10 or viceversa
