Yes, the outcome of the ntrk is being changed.

What do you mean exactly?

Was an aircraft that was shot down by a 30mm cannon now flying and continuing to fight?

I think he means that planes are going down with just one 20 mm hit, and it looks funny to him.

Yes. Also, the lead required for the 30mm is much larger than for the 20mm, so the first person shooting (of the new default cannon) seen in the 4.10.1m ntrk replay is all wrong in relation to how much lead is being pulled.

The NTRK format is a packet recorder. I can see a TRK file being messed up, but not an NTRK.

But it does not contain plane info, does it? So it would, like the OP describes, contain the info that plane A fires the cannon, where the shots go and which damage they do, but not which type of gun or ammo was used, wouldn't it?

As can be seen, the ntrk file does not store what type of gun is being used whenever the gun used is the default weapon of the aircraft in the sim. So, if the new version changes the default weapon, the replay of an old ntrk will let a different weapon show up.
