IIRC, it was an oversized** sheet of overlays that fit inside the AH box. I expect that MMP has split these up (i.e. reformatted) so that they can use two standard 8.5" x 11" sheets, and therefore fit the MMP-style box.There was only 1 sheet of overlays in original CdG so, I hope that would not increase the price much. The overlays would be much more useful than the 2 boards included in the new one for me.

Not that this would increase the price a lot, but it would increase the overall price nonetheless. But as I mentioned upthread, and Perry confirmed, MMP planned to release the overlays with the overlay bundle shortly thereafter. I don't agree with leaving the overlays out of CdG, but I understand the decision.
Edit: **I think this was what prompted MMP to reformat the original overlays in CoB and GH for inclusion in Rising Sun. It is possible therefore that some of the CdG overlays have been mixed with overlays from other publications for release in the Overlay Bundle. This may have made their inclusion in CdG that much more difficult, especially if the original CdG overlays are now spread over multiple sheets of overlays.
FWIW, I have been waiting for the reprinting of CdG for some 14 years now, every since I got back into ASL. While I had the original CdG counters, I wanted new ones that were of the same quality as those in later MMP modules, counters only attached to the sheet by their corners. The fact that MMP has since increased the font on the counters makes them even more attractive to me. The inclusion of Vichy and Free French counters is welcome icing on the cake. As for Dinant, I would have bought it anyway. So bundling it with CdG doesn't bother me in the least. And again for the record, I too would have preferred to see the overlays included with CdG (rather than boards 42 and 43). But on the whole I am extremely pleased with what looks to be a fantastic addition to my ASL kit.
