It was confirmed that they are the same, with some minor (mostly cosmetic) differences. Like how bens omnitrix symbol is green and black instead of the original White and grey that be saw in Ken 10 and Ben 10,000. These cosmetic differences can be explained by celestialsapiens changing the way the universe looks, which also explains why max looks a chubby again, and why vilgax isn't "torn to shreds". But actually he never was torn to shreds in the first place, the OS depectied him as being burnt to death, which is pretty much what we saw. And yes, the year 2032 doesn't make sense. I tried to ask Derrick about this but he didn't reply. But that doesn't contridict anything we saw in the original future because we were never given a year that the OS future took place in.

And for the record, OV Kevin 11K used to be evil, but it is implied that he recently got the help he needed. This was hinted when Kev yelled "Settle down or I'll start knocking heads togther!" and Ben said "your people skills have improved".

As for Ken's omnitrix, I don't see a problem. It was shown in End of an Era that Ben 10K's omnitrix is not the same omnitrix as the OV omnitrix, and he just had it stored in his head quarters for a few years before giving it to kenny some point after Ken 10.
