The flow divergence and irregularity is present in both photographs.
Although better rendered by the later more modern film emulsion. Top photo.
Also the digital scanning resolution in the top, more modern photo is of a higher quality. Less digital artefacts.
I suspect that the older photo is an orthochromatic glass negative of low ISO sensitivity.
The newer photo being panchromatic 120 polyester/nitrate roll film of higher ISO sensitivity.
What are the exact dates of these two photographs?
Is there any evidence of equipment used in each case?

It's also worth noting that "stain" does
