The ZGMF/A-262 is the original Strike Freedom, but refurbished (different railgun geometry, reworked pauldrons) and dubbed "Spec II". It still uses the original frame and overall equipment, but the original DRAGOON-carrying flight pack can be swapped with the new Proud Defender, at which point it is essentially considered a new model (and a two-seater, at that).

The only other thing they really changed is the mega particle cannon they slotted into the forehead block (a homage to the MSZ-010 ZZ Gundam)...which is useless without the PD.

What is peculiar, though, is that the Infinite Justice, which is described a "modified version" of IJ (though I am not fluent enough in Japanese to tell whether it can be more accurately translated as a "modified/altered/updated IJ")...does not share the /A suffix of the Mighty Strike Freedom or the Destiny Spec II. Also it is named "Type II" rather than "Spec II"...a different frame?
Naming conventions are a bit all over the place here...
