From the OP : "That what my older pump looks like and worked. The new pump has the program button off to the side of the arrows. Slightly different"
Based on this statement I believe he has the first run of Cm1.0 Pumps with a (2) Screw cap. On this cap the Program button was "off to the side of the arrows." This would be a none IOS CM1.0 as well. These caps were used for a short period of time prior to Power Pole switching to the revised (4) screw cap and revised membrane. This design was used from approx late 2011-2012. Which shows the age of those poles his buddy has.
Send them to Power Pole. I don't believe the OP will be able to address his concerns. I don't want to speak for Power Pole but I would say he will probably receive a revised (4) screw cap back with new IOS boards...
