For the avoidance of doubt, a revocation under the New Drivers Act can only be triggered by points being given for an offence
committed within the probationary period. If such points take your total of relevant points to 6 or more, the DVLA will revoke your licence with notice - at which point you would need to re-apply for a provisional, etc.
Assuming you get the 6 points, they will be on your full licence, and if they had been awarded before you passed your tests, they would be carried over to your full licence, but it requires an offence committed within the probationary period to trigger a revocation under the NDA.
Look up s. 2(1)(f) Road Traffic (New Drivers) Act 1995 if you want to see the authoritative source.
As regards the NDA, getting 3-8 points for offences committed before passing your tests would leave you a single 3 point offence committed during the probationary period away from a revocation. The significance of 6 points over say 3 points, is that you are that much closer to a 12 point totting up ban (12 points for offences committed within 3 years).
N.B. Effectively you only ever have one driving licence. When a provisional licence is "upgraded" to a full licence, it includes the full entitlement to the appropriate classes of vehicle, and usually provisional entitlements to others.
Most provisions concerning points on licences concern the date of offence, not the date of conviction - although insurers require you to declare for 3 or 5 years from date of conviction to ensure that hey get their pound of flesh.
Im honestly unsure what the first thing i was given was i remember fixed penalty was in the name, i have since moved house and the letter is still boxed up somewhere (i know thats irresponsible but ive at least kept my summons and statement of facts on me).
I just remember after saying im guilty they sent me a letter that this couldnt be handle under the previous method and forwarded it onto the single justice.
If you complied with the requirements to accept a fixed penalty, then you cannot lawfully be prosecuted for the offence., regardless of whether or not a fixed penalty would usually have been offered for that speed. However, if you did not comply (e.g. did not send of the required identification details, or did not comply with the timescales), then you, err, did not comply and they can still lawfully prosecute.
I should probably go digging for these letters again at some point soon.
That might be a good idea.
N.B. If you are looking to defend the matter, how to approach the court (simple one word answer - respectfully) would be of secondary relevance (the first being the defence itself). If you do not have a defence, there seems little point in getting dressed up, leaving purple hair and pronouns at the door, and spending half a day in court to almost certainly get the same paint-by-numbers sentence you would get by being sentenced in our absence.
