One is Fritz 6c, the SHOULD BE Fritz 6d. I do not think that you have the right to decide about the names. Chessbase decide about the name and if they call it Fritz7 then it is Fritz7. The name of the file is not important for the name of the engine. They could use the name 88.0.0.888 if they wanted. In that case It is still Fritz7 and not Fritz88. It is not important if there is only a small change in Fritz6 to get Fritz7. If they change one line of code and make the engine 200 elo better than people are going to be happy to buy the new engine. It is an extreme example If you want to think about more realistic example then if they change 1% of the source code and make it 50 elo better than I will be happy to buy it. In the relevant case it seems that they even changed clearly more than 1% of the source code. Fritz6 is 304Kbytes Fritz7(no mmx is 356 Kbytes) This is a big change of more than 17% only on the size of the code and the change in the source code may be more than it because changing is not only adding source code.
