[ensembl-dev] Weird gene model

Hi

I wonder how the gene model was done for those mouse genes:
https://www.ensembl.org/Mus_musculus/Gene/Summary?g=ENSMUSG00000007440
https://www.ensembl.org/Mus_musculus/Gene/Summary?g=ENSMUSG00000102206

In Ensembl 102, both genes had the same name and source acc.
In more recent releases, they have different names and source acc.

Nevertheless, when I look at the gene track, both genes are located at 
the same place, with different starts.
They look like splice variants.

So my question, how does the gene model distinct between splice variants 
and genes in that case?

Best
