For cumulative update families the newer package includes these fixes, so installing that one is usually the shorter path. Verify against your own update rings before you skip this package.

Exposure spans both 32-bit and 64-bit Office 2016 plus 32-bit Office 2019 installs, which are common on managed desktops.
