I'm not sure that when it comes to 1960's writings we can dumbly apply a "latest prevails" rule as if it were legislation. What we have instead is Tolkien thinking with the pen, jotting down ideas whichj he might or might not stick with- and as the years wore on increasingly fuzzed by failing memory.
