TC designed a replacement hammer/cock and not an entire replacement lock.
And they may have added or improved the vent liner.
The original cock was shorter and more curved, while the replacement cock stands taller with less of a pronounced "S" curve.
The main issue with the original cock was that it rapidly consumed flints, with reports of only being able to obtain 10 - 20 shots per flint. The newer cock can produce somewhere between 50 - 80 shots per flint.
