Re: West's 4th Arkansas Battery in the summer of 6

"On December 31, 1864, it was redesignated as the 4th Arkansas Field Battery and was assigned to Maj. Thomas A. Faries' 3rd Artillery Battalion, in Maj. Gen. Camille Giles de Polignac's 2nd Infantry Division, in Lieut. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner's First Army Corps."

Special Order No. 290, dated November 19, 1864, lists West's Battery, as the 4th Arkansas Field Battery, assigned to the 5th Artillery Battalion, commanded by Major William Durbin Blocher.

Is there are conflict here are are both these statements true?
