Do they shave differently for you?
I do not believe the overall thickness of the plates changed; however, I believe the depths of the four corner notches visible in your pictures did change. I have noticed a similar difference in some Goodwill razors, as well.l'm happy to possess several Gillette NEWs. Today I realized that the thickness of some of my Gillette NEW SC vary. Patent info is exactly the same.
Did Gillette change something in the design? Or is this just due to production tolerances?
Exactly, that's the difference, and th right one should be older.
Here is the so SC cap, it won't fit anything else:
