You are right. Functionally there is no change at all. My dad has a similar lens that he bought with his film Nikon FG in 1984. You cannot use the film lens on the D50 though - you get an error.
The only thing that is changed in the new lens is the digital interface section to allow the autofocus feature and distance data to communicate to the camera body.
I think the old lens is better from a construction standpoint - the feel that you get from moving the focus and aperture rings is much better in the old lens.
