new baseline and new cash flow

hi all
i have a question that bothers me
i work in a consultant firm and i review contractor's time schedules
the contractor submit a baseline in the begining of work and i get from it the cash flow
i compare this cash flow with invoices of the contractor during project execution
after 6 months the contractor had the approval of time extension for his work from the owner (1 year extension..!!)
the contractor made a new baseline showing the new project end date starting from the date the extension of time is approved till the new end date
i get the cash flow from this new baseline but when i compare it to the invoices i wonder about the cash flow of the first baseline how can i represent it when i make total cash flow vs invoices.
this is the question: i have 2 baselines with 2 cashflows, how can compare them to contractors' invoices. shall i represent 2 cash flows with 2 seperate curves or shall i combine the 2 cash flows in one curve?
please advice

To me it makes much sense to
To me it makes much sense to display Original Baseline, Actual Baseline and Update Banana Curves. Banana Curves are composed of Cummulative S Curves for Early and Late Schedules.Although P3 can display 3 Banana Curves at the same time you can easily get lost with so much data that will display 3 early date curves and 3 late dates curves.
I prefer to display Update versus Actual Baseline in a separate Graph and Actual Baseline versus Original Baseline. This makes it easier to compare one against another in a way it makes more sense.
The following is how Spider Project displays 2 Banana Curves.
