Sean, I think (hope) you misunderstood.
My reading is that it's the same F125 switch that was originally in the car, fixed to the replacement gearbox.
So it's the same shifter, cabling, wiring and F125 but the gearbox and TCU have been swapped.
Something in there will be incompatible, but we need someone more knowledgeable than me to comment.
That's why I asked about the shifter on the current and donor cars; are they the same or not (Sport mode etc.)
It would be interesting to see the internal structure of the two types of F125. I've seen several photos of the later version (and can supply them myself if needed) but don't recall any of the earlier one with round plug.
Here's a later type (damaged) which actually has 9 cables internally in groups of 4 and 5. I think the 10-pin plug actually only has 9 pins installed:
