Gaogaigar FINAL question

[kyo28]

OK, I'm officially puzzled: Some years ago I saw the OAV Gaogaigar FINAL on DVD, which contains 8 episodes.

I heard that later they broadcasted these OAV's on TV Tokyo. But while browsing Wikipedia Japan, I noticed they broadcasted 12 episodes instead of 8. So my million dollar question is: did they just add episodes inbetween or recreate a totally new OAV series? Since some titles match, my guess would be the first but I wanted to know if someone could tell me for sure.

Here's the page on wikipedia with the episode titles:

According to the English Wiki page on GaoGaiGar:

"In the summer of 2005, a 12 episode re-edit of GaoGaiGar FINAL—The King of Braves GaoGaiGar FINAL -Grand Glorious Gathering-—aired on TV Tokyo. This show was dubbed a "reimagining" of FINAL, adding flashbacks from the original television series and minor elements from Betterman to further connect the two series, featuring new voiceovers to accompany reused animation and stills."
