The change was made a few years ago.
The new version uses a longer gas strut that opens the hood more than the original version.
The longer strut requires the attachment point to be located farther forward on the hinge arm.
Plus the longer strut is a stronger strut to help hold the hood open.
I think it went from a 90 lb strut to a 110 lb strut.
