I think by stating "there should be no difference except one was spm5 and the other was spm8", you underestimate the rate of scientific progress ;) But more seriously, the difference comes from how the bounding box is calculated, which obviously changed between versions. As mentioned before, mixing spm versions is not recommended, for exactly the kind of issues you encounter (actually, you are lucky because the difference in your case is obvious while it may not be that obvious, but still substantial, for other updates/bugfixes). If you seriously want to go on with this approach, you could specify the bounding box explicitly, which can be done in different ways depending on how you achieved normalization.
