Look at Paul McGann's Doctor from Klein's Story. He's the Eighth incarnation of the Doctor, he's even the same Eighth incarnation in body and personality, but he's from an aborted timeline. Enemy Lines establishes that we may be in a similar situation: Romana-as-played-by-Juliet-Landau regenerated because of the Moros, not as a deliberate choice to prepare for the War, and has now had her existence undone, so I think it's pretty safe to say the two are from different timelines. As to whether Romana-as-played-by-Juliet-Landau and Romana-as-written-by-Paul-Cornell are physically identical the way the Doctors of the movie and Klein's Story are, no progress has been made. However, I don't think it matters. The situation has worked itself out. Both are definitively Romana III, and go on the same page.
