I do wonder, why the *.old files are newer than their counterparts:

In recent Tor versions (0.3.1), we renew onion keys every ~4 weeks, to save on directory downloads. In older versions, the dates would be July 8 and July 15.

(When you report bugs, please give your Tor version. It saves a round-trip over email.)
