Hi there
i have heard that the newer style air box isnt as good as the older style ,

the only diffrence i can see is newer style is more aerodynamic and smaller internaly (less air volume ) than the older version

is there any truth in this ???

There are a few topics discussing this already.

From what I've been told, the old airbox makes the fuel mixture leaner. I don't know if that's true or not. It makes a bit of sense though if you consider that the old airbox has more volume so more air can go through at a given time? Not sure.

Can the top of the new airbox be fitted to the bottom of the old?

no. the new one has round edges at the front, they may have done it on purpose for that reason :/
