The components of the assignment are like a cake. If you change one of the ingredients in the recipe then it's not the same cake.
The dividing line between a correction or revision vs the so-called "different assignment" is not the amount of changes that are being made to the SR1/SR2 workproduct, but whether or not the appraiser made the effort to consider what this new user actually needs and whatever steps it would take to meet those needs.
Different user with the same criteria is real simple; the first report contained certain elements and after consideration you determined that combination is the same as what this new user requires. Whether it takes 30 seconds or 2 days to do that - to fit this workproduct to this new user - is immaterial. Even if no other changes are required it is literally the mandatory consideration process which makes THIS workproduct specific to THIS assignment.
The two reports might look the same but - as a result of making the effort to fit the 2nd appraisal/report to the 2nd user - they are technically not the same. That difference is occurring on the SOWR and the SR1 side, even if not apparent in the SR2 side.
