Just send the passport(s) you have available.
It's not an issue - many foreign passport authorities retain expired ones on renewal and often people discard them, or loose them. For peace of mind you may wish to add a note to explain.
Thank you! :)

Yeah I tried but feels like lot of people on that thread are discussing timelines. I felt like it would be rude to butt in.
