i think you have the names wrong between pictures. the ring doesn't want to budge on the 52mm(and sticks out), and is seated nicely on the 62mm....
as with the tps removed. the orange ring one, looks newer hence.. 62mm.
maybe i'm wrong.

Nope the 62mm one is the one with the weird immoveable ring. They're labelled right. The 62mm one has the RTV all over it from when we tried to make it seal better, and the 52mm one has the nasty looking interior.

that ring is a shaft locking ring, it is designed to keep the shaft from moving if the butterfly is removed, that ring could be causing the tps to have a bad contact area when rotated, we run into the problem commonly in older diesel trucks, the shaft on the pedal wears out causing the tps to wear down one section of the potentiometer more than the rest causing the truck to stumble in that throttle position area.

does the throttle shaft have excessive play on the 62mm? check the plate bore to see if there is a scarred are where the butter fly has been contacting it, i have modified t/b and pulled the butterflies for cutting shafts and mounting screws for flow, if the shaft and butterfly are set back properly it causes headackes.

i woud venture to bet it has been disassembled 1 or more times, and has been misaligned. hold the 62mm up to light and look to see if you can see a bigger gap in one area between the butterfly and bore.

you can try carefully tapping the lockring back into place to be sure the shaft doesnt wobble horizontily and it might help?

FIXED
Maybe only temporarily until the throttle plate wears down the TPS again but what the hell.
Using the 52mm's TPS on my RSM 62mm, now my car is extremely responsive. The TPS graph is a lot higher per pedal position now. All graphs are nice and smooth. My theory of what happened is that the TPS was reading too low. The throttle plate was open farther than the PCM thought, so there was a lot more air coming in. It tried to compensate, but failed at times, where the lean spikes occurred.
So now that the TPS is reading accurately again, it seems to have a lot more low end power and wants to enter PE a lot more (since the TPS reads higher, accurate again).
Oil change is happening tomorrow (nearing 500 miles) and then I'm off to tuning the low and high RPM tables and seeing what PSI I can make now.

so after all the fuss... all you needed was a new TPS (possibly new TB) ??

Yessir did a ton of testing today lots of driving and the issue was the TPS. Car runs beautifully. Needs a tune bad since everything was based off the old engine and crappy problems though.
Will be out tuning it later, but so far it's at 9.1 PSI. Feels a lot more powerful though.
