Interesting. One interface is renamed; one is not (wlan0).

My understanding is that the information provided by the BIOS and PCI
slots is used by udev to produce the interface names. I'm not happy with
newness as an explanation.

The view might be different if the machine had been remote and using
ifupdown's hardcoded interface names. 70-persistent-net-rules is
intended to ensure renaming doesn't happen. If it has that would be
quite a serious matter.
