It all worked very well and Windows was even bootable (despite missing some drivers). SRS5 now listed my old backup instead of the new one and was able to restore it. So I replaced the zeroes with ACh and 98h in my old user1.wcl and replaced the SamsungRecovery folder on my external HDD with my old (but patched) backup. The backup from SRS4 is filled with zeroes at this position, while the backups from SRS5 contain the bytes ACh and 98h. It seems, that there are only two bytes in user1.wcl, which are necessary for version matching.
SAMSUNG RECOVERY SOLUTION ADMIN TOOL INSTALL
After some unsuccessful attempts, including trying to install SRS4 in a virtual machine (Admin Tool did not complete installing recovery environment, which may depend on special Samsung system functions), I created a backup with SRS5 and compared the files with my old backup.
