Usually what would happen is they’d try the new one and if after a series they didn’t like it, they’d build one more in line with the original but it would be a new build and still look a bit different.
I’m guessing it’s just a bit of extra dressing on the old set and some lighting changes, so wouldn’t have been too hard to back.
You also have to remember when Series 7 aired, 1991 - the year Thames were concentrating on winning their ITV franchise, which meant cost cutting measures in place - if the production felt their new set for Series 6 which aired September 1990 to February 1991 was not what they wanted, Thames would not be prepared to offer them more money to spend on another new set or rebuilding their old one, so a basic economy was used, taking the old set out of storage and sprucing it up a tiny bit.
No one watched Strike it Lucky for the set
