You can use the same rescue image, but you will need to edit the logfile 
as described here 
http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html#Logfile-Structure

"Logfiles generated by a version of ddrescue prior to 1.6 lack the 
status line. If you want to use an old logfile with ddrescue 1.6 or 
later, you will have to insert a line like `0 +' at the beginning of the 
logfile."


Regards,
Antonio.
