Correct, per X.2, because the type of EVERY primary charge has significantly
changed. (* See below...)

As someone else pointed out, no, because you get 1 CD for the field
difference (X.4.a.i), and 1 CD for the change of tincture of the primary
charges from vert and Or to azure and argent (X.4.d).

See X.4.h.  In many cases, you would get a CD for posture changes, but not
all; for instance, there is no CD between (for four-legged beasts) rampant
and salient, or passant and statant, but there is between passant and
rampant, etc etc.


* So, here's a question for you:

Per bend Or and vert, two dolphins counterchanged
AND
Per bend Or and vert, a tower and a dolphin counterchanged

Do they conflict, or not? Cite rules!
