Technically the only difference between the images are the drivers for the devices of the classmate. You can technically install the veteran image on the new classmate but you have to get the drivers off the classmate website.
This you should know before attempting this if you choose to do so.
1. make sure you have another computer than can access the internet.
2. know the model number of your new classmate.
3. Know where to get the drivers:

I hope this helps
