The only way to resolve that would be to find both the original and new specifications and compare them - or some samples of both old and new to measure with a micrometer.
Does the new spec by any chance incorporate a different contact design that accommodates both? (Although even that would have a one way solution.)
If not, there would have been massive problems when the new plugs were used on older systems, one that I think would have raged for many years ...
There has to be an answer, otherwise the only solution would have been to introduce an entirely different connector which would not mate with either of the originals, and that obviously didn't happen!
