Indeed it doesn't seem to matter too much due to the ambiguous way the filmmakers handled it. But I still don't see enough here to say for certain it's the 1954 Godzilla regenerated. The idea that Godzilla is immortal in the face of man is a wonderful, thematic and artistic attribute to GMK, but I think, taken literally, it robs the movie of its strengths regardless of continuity. Even if there is some form of evidence that the GMK Godzilla regenerated, which the wound seems to contradict, we've never seen such extensive regeneration from Godzilla before. It implies a little more suspension of disbelief. Regenerating cuts, holes, gashes, etc--That makes sense and we've seen it all before. But from so little brain tissue, organs, bone, etc can regenerate? It's a bit far, even for the supernatural setting that Kaneko created.

I do like the idea that Godzilla's spirit may have found another dormant Godzilla body to embody. Although there's nothing to support that either it's a little easier to swallow in the confines of GMK's world.
