Got a racing ralph evo 2.25 from onone today. Never had a ralph before.
The tread patter is like this:

I assume one is new and old? Which have I got and whats the real world difference?
You have the 'old one'. Real world difference, probably minimal.
Old one's better
IMO the old ones are pretty sketchy, but roll quicker. More like a slightly gripper Fred, whilst the new ones are a faster Nic.
I'd use the new ones on the front in all but very muddy conditions, whilst I'd keep that for much drier conditions (on the front at least).
