First and foremost you are working with games that have different hash keys.
Saves already stop working if for example your save is from patch 1.05 and someone wants to use that save in the 1.02 version of the game.
The same happens if you have a 1.02 save and you want to apply it in a game that already comes patched to 1.05.
Your case it is even worse. The game actually has different hash keys.
So no. There is no solution for your problem.
At least none that I'm aware of.
I've already tried using advance mode of Save Wizard to change the ID of the save file.
So I took an unpatched save from an unpatched game, tried to change its ID. Installed it and the game would not recognize the save file.
I even then applied the patch that also patched the save, and it still did not work.
So considering there are cheats for that version of the game then your friend might as well begin a new game.
