I bet they’re the same and the old one is just bent back.

Probably, try it and find out.

The frame mount seems to work. The pivot point will be slightly different but I bet it’ll work just fine, perhaps you can compensate a bit with the B-screw on the RD itself, if needed.

If they looked identical, you wouldn’t need to be replacing it, I would have thought?
The new one clearly fits the frame, so I strongly suspect it’s the right one. Wrong ones just won’t mount.

Why not just test it out. If it has issues in shifting, then you’re still SOoL.

Well, you already put it on the frame and it fits – that’s the complicated story of derailleur hangers, and you mastered it. Relax.

Dont forget: Even the new one needs to get alignet.
