I see a problem with the pictures you posted. Two of them (old Rodinal and new Rodinal) are the same. I don't mean similar. I mean they are the exact same photograph. You can tell this by examining the fine structure of the grain. It is identical in the two photographs, right down to the last little grain feature. This can only happen if the pictures are the exact same pictures.
Maybe you mixed up the pictures and posted the same one twice.
