There may have been at some point a change to the implementation of this Replay Mode:
"Calculate Same as Real Time"

We would have to check though but that is quite involved. Any change would be a technical improvement. That setting is relatively new.

For the most consistency you would want to use this replay mode:
Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode.

Refer to:

Whatever the reason for the difference you are seeing, you should be able to precisely identify it. Since it is your trading system which is submitting the orders. Through logging, you should be able to identify the change. You could count the number of times your study function is called and log this time at each call:
sc.LatestDateTimeForLastBar

That is a good place to start.
