Some details about the characters from the official site:
Motoko is a major in the 501st Division in the army, some sort of special forces unit (secret service?). She runs into Aramaki when he consults her on a certain case. It's not clear where he's working, but probably at public safety (since he later starts Section 9 there). Togusa is a detective in the special investigations department for the Niihama Police Station. Paz is an undercover cop working for the military police, and he runs into Motoko during a deep cover operation. Batou is apparently investigating the murder of a coworker of his, and suspects Motoko is involved. The other characters don't really have any details other than their general description, so the first episode probably focuses on those five characters first.

If you're counting a TV episode as 20 mins (without OP/ED), then realistically a 50 min OVA is more like 46 mins. We know the OP is a minute long, and for OVAs the ED is usually longer (2-3 mins). So it's more like 180-190 mins vs 240 mins. Almost a whole hour of difference!
