Lange proposed different models at different times, under different circumstances. He both proposed models for making centrally planned socialist economies work more efficiently, and he also had proposed models in which markets would be used under socialism. He tended to emphasize the latter when discussing things directly with Friedrich Hayek. Later on when he returned to Poland, his energies were directed towards making Poland's now centrally-planned socialist economy work better, so he de-emphasized his writings on market socialist models. BTW in 1956, Lange, Kalecki, Brus, and other leading Polish economist drew up proposals for reforming Poland's state socialist economy in the wake of the turmoil that was hitting the country at that time. That turmoil resulted in Gomulka's return to power. His new government neither accepted nor rejected these reform proposals but as the political situation in Poland stabilized, these reform proposals were quietly shelved.

It's especially important given that Lange is better known (mistakenly?) for taking the market socialism side in debates over planning feasibility.
