[Feat] Does Covering Fire have two versions?


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

This feat, Covering Fire, appear in Ranged Tactics Toolbox and Villain Codex.

Here is RTT's version

Covering Fire (Combat, Teamwork)
You distract your enemies with ranged attacks to protect
your allies.
Prerequisite: Point-Blank Shot.
Benefit: You can use the aid another action with a
ranged attack against an opponent, regardless of whether
the opponent threatens an ally. Range penalties apply to
this attack roll. Choose one ally when making the attack.
If the attack is successful, that ally gains a +2 bonus to AC
against that opponent’s next attack, as long as the attack
comes before the beginning of your next turn. All allies
with this feat also gain this bonus against that opponent.

Here is VC's version

Your shot can put an enemy off guard, giving your teammates
the opportunity to act.
Prerequisites: Exotic Weapon Proficiency (firearms)UC,
Weapon Focus (at least one firearm).
Benefit: When you hit a foe with a firearm for which
you have Weapon Focus, that creature takes a –2 penalty
on attack rolls for 1 round against any other ally that also has this feat; this changes to a –4 penalty on attacks
of opportunity. The penalty applied by this feat does not
stack with itself. However, if both you and an ally with this
feat attack the same foe, you can cover each other (since a
penalty you impose with this feat doesn’t apply to attacks
against you).

VC's version after RTT so there only one feat and VC is newest?
Or just a mistake that two different feat have a same name?

They appear to be two different feats with nothing in common except the name.

I've noticed the same thing happen with oracle mysteries. For example there are 3 different Juju mysteries. One just seems to be a reprint of the 1st. But the 3rd one is completely different.
