Well normal convention would be if you replace then the old one gets appended with .rpmsave, if you are not replacing then the new one gets appended with .rpmnew. On the other hand, check this out: https://www.redhat.com/promo/summit/2010/presentations/summit/opensource-for-it-leaders/thurs/pwaterma-2-rpm/RPM-ifying-System-Configurations.pdf Seems you are in luck, you can infer what exists by virtue of the order upgrades are installed.
