That's the same reversal as in the premise is it not? What am I missing.
I have yet to take this test, but I just noticed your post has yet to have any follow up.
Logically, these are the same mistake:
If the conditional given is:
A--->B
Premise gives us B
Argument concludes: A
And
The conditional given is:
A--->B
Premise gives us A
Argument concludes B
Both of these mistakes are the sufficient/necessary conflations, but they are operationally not the same mistake in the argument. The LSAT has indeed called on us to differentiate between these two mistakes before.
I hope this helps and my apologies for not having that deep of an answer here because I have yet to take this PT.
