   So the A was a fresh install of 15, but B was an "upgrade" from a prior   
   14.2 install?  Don't you think that little tidbit of information might   
   have been useful to have included in your first post?   
      
   In which case, your best course of action will likely be:   
      
   Reinstall afresh 15.0 onto B, then copy/compile the custom items you   
   want to add.  At which point you should have a B that works properly.

   In which case you should have well learned enough to fix this glitch   
   all by yourself without asking anyone anything.

   Sounds like you might have installed some 14.2 packages onto B's 15   
   install (or the update from 14.2 to 15 borked and left some 14.2 cruft   
   behind that should have gone away instead.   
      
   A fresh, new, install of 15 on B is probably the best way to clear up   
   the issue.
