Eight more Patriot batteries and the Kinzahl & Iskander shoot down rate will climb dramatically.

One or two of these batteries need to be colocated with the F-16s.

A while back was an article that Israel was upgrading and replacing their systems. These are an earlier version?

These are an earlier version?

—
Yes, but they may be upgraded before arrival in UKR.

The Israeli Patriots are 30 year old PAC-2/GEM+.

I am certain that these systems have been upgraded and well maintained.

The GEM+ missiles are highly capable against tactical ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.

The missiles are still in production with a contracted backlog of approximately 1,500 missiles and a near-term demand of an additional 1,000 missiles.

I do not know what Israel is replacing them with.

Below is a Wikipedia link with additional information on all Patriot configurations.
