Hi, my wife applied for naturalisation recently and we had the same issue. I remember reading somewhere in the rules that you CAN use a previous IELTS certificate if it was previously used for your ILR application.

But then, when answering Question 1.23 on Form AN, there doesn't seem to be a suitable box to tick (your certificate was before IELTS SELT consortium even existed). In the end, we figured it would be better (even if not legally necessary) to get the updated IELTS B1 listening & speaking qualification. We thought it would help the application to be considered more smoothly.

It's just our experience, maybe it helps you.
