Good question. They do look reasonably identical. Someone will have to get
one in hand to be certain. The legs and head have a new PCC, but that doesn't
necessarily mean they are new prints.

Printing on the new body part is vastly improved over the original minifig, that
together with the new pcc justified a new minifig entry in the catalog.

I believe that if this were the case, there would be many, many more nearly similar
parts in our catalog.

Sellers have to be able to identify which part they have in hand with no more
then the text and image for reference. There needs to be some detail that isn't
subjective.

Photos side by side of both of them, on left sw0530 from 2014, on right sw0993
from 2019. Differences are very elusive. White lines of printing are thiner,
especially on front emblem and on shoulders.

That simply looks like a print fidelity difference. This happens with many parts.
The printing can change as the equipment wears down, the printing can change
as advances are made in printing technology, the printing can change with part
alignment during the printing process, etc.

In other words, looks like the same minifig to me.

Cheers,
Randy
