Explanation
A "postscript" is merely an addition at the end of a letter; it cannot describe a document whose earlier manuscript was replaced by a new one. A "palimpsest" is a manuscript on which the original writing has been effaced to make room for later writing — exactly the situation described. "Parchment" is the writing material, "pastiche" an artistic imitation, and "montage" a composite picture, none of which fits. "Palimpsest" is the precise term.
