Oculus API updated dll's / aar files are ignored when the Unity Oculus packages are installed

The Oculus asset for Unity includes the capability to download and update the Oculus platform plugins for Unity, however currently, Unity will ignore these newer plugins if there is an existing Unity package already containing these plugin's

Today:

• Oculus Unity package uses 1.38.1 (only recently updated even though the newer was released earlier)
• Oculus asset downloads 1.39

When run, only the 1.38.1 plugin is used, ignoring the newer plugin in Assets.


For reference, I've reported this in the Unity forums too
