As far as I recall, the original 6074 set had some spare parts including (as
far as I know the only LEGO castle set that really had spare parts).
My theory is that the new LEGEND don't include those spares.
My two cents

You are right. In both.
The original 6074 had some grey spare arches
http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=2339
Those could be built in at the turret:

Compare the half arches in the picture above with the arches in the building
instruction:

Those spare arches are not included with the Legend set.
BTW: The swords in the Legend Black Falcon's Castle are light grey.

I guess the other spare parts used to build the 2nd modal LEGO suggested
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/6000/6074/6074-01.jpg
(As we recall the set 6040 - Blacksmith Shop also included a few spare parts
for the 2nd model.
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/6000/6040)
I guess in reissuing the model LEGO direct didn't know/forgat about those
spares.

Even better, but I don't know why, I thought LEGEND's suppose to be as close
as can get to the original one.
Thanks again for LEGO direct that heard our prays
now all we have to do is to come up with another great model
to be reissue hopefully until August next year.

P.S. if 6074 already reissue, I really think that 6062 - The Battering Ram
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6062 can be a nice addition to it and won't be
to hard for LEGO to make it as a Classic or LEGEND as well.

Okay. That's weird. But with gray swords in 10039 and 4735, this
once-rare part will be readily available again.

Beseides the light grey swords they made another important variance in the
10039 compared to the original 6074. The Black Falcon emblem on the
legendary (because almost always broken if recieved in used condition) flag
has a slightly different shape:
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Jojo/legostore/10039flag.jpg
On the left you see the NEW version, on the right is the traditional shape.
So collectors who were worried about the value of their original Black
Falcon's Castle may calm down...

Wow both of your flags look great! I looked at mine today and it's printed
poorly:

This is uncommon for pieces made in the 80s...

Well, I think it was pure chance that I grabbed an accurate printed one.
I've got another flag that has a crooked silver-print, too. However, the
real problem is not the original printing but the children who played with
the parts... It's almost impossible to get a real good looking flag. Most
used parts look like these (OK, these are extreme cases):

They also changed the emblem on the minifigs' torsos to the new shape:

Just so...

So we don't all have to dig out our falcons -- which is which?
The new one is on the left, yes? The old one is therefore to the right...
If I understand this correctly, I actually like this change. It's hard to
imagine why they decided to make the alteration though...the only thing I
can guess is that the figure on the left has a pattern more in keeping with
the shape of Lego triangle shields.
I could eventually be pursuaded to trade my original figs 1 for 2 with the
new ones...
