It is still Avcoat, that's just the name for the epoxy+silica 'honey.' But yeah they got rid of the honeycomb structure due to labour to manually fill the cells costing too much. Seems like kind of a dumb place to draw a line with the budget considering all the overruns it already has, means that now the Avcoat is being used in a design it wasn't originally meant for
If you want to be precise, sure. But most people don't make a distinction between AVCOAT 5026-39/HC-G and just AVCOAT 5026-39/HC and then AVCOAT 5026-39.
The key is that there's no honeycomb providing key structural support to the "honey."
