What your readings are telling you is Skips original coil is 6V and needs the Ford series resistor. Your aftermarket coil is also 6V and does not need the Ford resistor. Both coils look good to go.
Resistance of the coils can basically tell you they look good, the real test is to put them in service. Testing with an ohmeter does not heat the devices up like they would in service after hours of driving.
