Not only the beautiful mates, but the whole play – including the two wK moves in each solution – is in diagonal-ortogonal correspondence! Yet we don’t get the impression of seeing the same solution twice.

Every move echoed in ODT fashion.
And with only 5 pieces, obviously every piece is involved.
Must have been composed in ortho-diagonal heaven!

A fitting marker for No.1000…
Though I would’ve expected a HS# 😉

I am no case suggesting that the following problem is predecessor, just No 1000 has instantly reminded me of it: http://jurajlorinc.com/chess/fhedo_01.htm#uloha1
Quite fittingly if has won fairy section of TT dedicated to D-O transformation.

Juraj, you are absolutely right: the final positions from Didier’s problem actually inspired me to compose this problem. I wanted to bring also the wK into play and exploit more the specificity of the fairy pieces. The ContraGrasshopper was as a lucky inspiration, as the problem would be cooked with a Lion.
