New Trolls

Old description:

Q... Trying to get a handle on this artist. Are we sure that "New Trolls" and "I Trolls" should be considered the same group? You would be clearly more familiar with this band that I will ever be, but the reason for my inquiry is that Discogs considers them separate and I don't even seem them cross referenced other than some overlapping members:

https://www.discogs.com/artist/560713-New-Trolls

Some observations: The I Trolls seem to go back as far as 1965 with their first single in 1966 (the SHS bio starts at 1967 and I don't see an earlier band name: Golfingers). I also noticed that I Trolls seem to only release singles while the New Trolls released LPs. Finally the dates overlap for releases, i.e. they were releasing under both names?

If I had to guess, the I Trolls were the original band. Some members left and created the New Trolls. Both bands were active during some period of time.

What brought me here:

A lead I found scanning the singles:
