A.) He is the same Ken

and

B) Where is his Omnitrix, if he even ever had one? Well OS is back, just different. As said before, by many people including the creators, time is always shifting.

For A.) I'd say see my thread about the constant of appearance but difference in other areas. http://ben10.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:190648

B.) It's possible he never did have one in this timeline. Because of time shifting to UAF Ben 10'000 and then back to OS, it's likely that the future in which Ken had the Omnitrix either no longer exists or is does exist but as an alternate timeline not concurrent with the Prime Ben timeline.

Basically like how Bad Ben, Benzarro, Gwen and all the others are alternate Ben's.

On a side note Ben 23 is different as he's from a different dimension, not timeline.

In this new timeline Ken might not have an Omnitrix and therefore have to rely on his suit, if you favor that theory.
