I just noticed earlier that the two cities that are given prominence in the cats cradle of the first shot are London and Edinburgh, where as they used to be Beijing and Madrid (or Johannesburg and Nairobi on the World version). Comparing like-for-like, it also appears there are some other minor changes to the shot (the 'sunray' etching is gone and the cats cradle changes colour depending on background) suggesting it was remade.
I can understand why only that shot was redone - it is less complex than the later remaining ones and the shot that 'featured' London and Edinburgh was removed (though it was already cut from the Ten title sequence). Little surprising, though, that they didn't take the opportunity to add Belfast and Cardiff to the cats cradle.
Pardon my ignorance but what is the "sunray" etching to which you refer? Sorry to ask.
And those location names are all from the second scene, which was cut in the 2020 version of the Ten titles.
So… yes, the current News at One and weekend bulletin titles have two scenes with same location names…
