One small note concerning

- Buying Replacements for Numidians and Mauretanians infantry units allowed.

Is it intended that in the Caesar vs. Pompey scenario it is still not possible to buy infantry replacements?

- improvements in how unit combat strength is calculated

Is this related to how stack pwr (combat efficiency) is displayed? What annoys me in AJE from start is that there is only marginal difference in pwr indicator between higher and lower quality troops. I hope quoted fix is related to that, right?

Nope, IIRC this is a turn-down of the fire value inside the internal combat strength calculation. Therefore archers and missile troops are now looking "weaker" and the hand-to-hand close fighting troops (or shock cavalry) are appearing "stronger", which is more in accordance to Ancient warfare and troops evaluation

That's not the "official" recomended setup (AJE and BOR together in the same folder...), but in principle, all will go well if you make sure the install path of each patch is the same as your game folder
