You are correct, previous certificates obtained prior to this year online are valid.
And therein lies the rub. While most certificates (cards) list the source by stating online, I have seen other cards that were obtained online and have no such verbiage.
Also, some but not all of the other entities still issuing certificates via the online exam may or may not annotate the source of the test. And unlike the extensive nationwide online motor vehicle database available to all LEOs, there is no such nationwide database currently in place for marine patrol officers.
Again we find ourselves with another NH boating regulation strong on intention but weak in its ability to be fairly and evenly enforced.
