It's possible that he was just using his first form ("Nine-Tails Chakra Mode") on both occasions and that's what it looks like now that he's got full Kurama. But then it doesn't make any sense for him to use the weaker cloak against all these powerful Ōtsutsuki, and use the stronger one against Shin of all people.

I guess there actually is some precedent for that sort of thing in this series though. After he unlocked it, Sasuke completely neglected his Susanoo's third (armoured) form in favour of its second bow-wielding form. Probably just because Kishimoto liked the design better, I guess.

The designs aren't that much different with a look over, I can chalk up the different design about the torso due to the cape.
