AFAIK, they both work for most engines.  i believe the difference is which
version of datacomp was used.  The current source of datacomp puts them in the
xxxxx.nbx.emd format - which is a little easier on the eyes.

It woudlbe easy to test - just grab the knbk.nbx.emd's and set up the position.
Change the name to knbknbx.emd and see if it still works.  The "x" is either "w"
or "b".
