Looking at those two lines, they could just be different versions of
the same thing, here are the commented differences:

* the second omits the PID of the ssh daemon - mistake or did older
  messages look like that? (the ones I see do have the PID)
* the second does use the new PAM format - but does the part after
  ssh: really need to match anything but auth?
* the first uses tty=ssh (which I do see in current mesages) if the
  second form with the empty tty also currently exists, a tty=(ssh)?
  won't hurt
* the first uses much wider (just any non-space char) patterns for
  rhost= and user=
* the first makes the user= part optional, I see that in current
  messages
