Ahem
Not the case here, they aren't different variations of the same characters, they are the exact same characters from the original movies that they originated in. The interviews and the stories themselves prove it in full, they were pulled in right before their mutual deaths (Only Lizard and Sandman don't die). Even more so for Ock, where multiple interviews state that this is the same exact Ock from SM2 right as he is about to sacrifice himself by tearing down his protostar reactor and drowning with it, where Alfred Molina actually stated that the studio went through great lengths to de-age him to get him as close to his SM2 self since he had aged so much and that it's been 17 years since SM2, and that NWH effectively continues Ock's story directly from SM2 (Even Ock confirms this that he was pulled in right as he had his tentacle at Peter's throat, where Peter gives him the infamous "give up the thing we want the most, even our dreams" pep talk right after which Ock sacrifices himself). Same goes for Electro, where he states that he was about to become pure energy and then Spider-Man's intervention effectively made him go "Oh shit, I was about to die". Sandman's details hold up too, he states that the deaths of Osborn and Ock made the headlines and their identities were revealed (Kinda messes around with Harry not knowing but someone like Sandman knowing, best explained by Harry's alcohol addiction tho) Even Andrew mentions how he lost Gwen. Tobey mentions how he lost Uncle Ben, had a temporary web block due to his existential crisis, about his back problems, about Harry's death, and about how he and his MJ worked it out in the end.
It doesn't get anymore direct than this.
