All the Wing MGs are technically Ver. Ka. What that basically means is that someone on the animating team for the movie follow-up to Wing (Hajime Katoki, I think his name was) redesigned the Wing Zero, Deathscythe Hell, Heavyarms Kai, Shelong, Sandrock, and Epyon for the movie. The new designs were lankier and more techy, and they went over so well with BanDai that they had him redesign suits from other shows. This became the Ver. Ka sub-line of Master Grade, with Gundams like the Victory, Unicorn, Crossbone, and (most recently) the Hi-Nu getting the Katoki treatment. This line included Gundams from Wing that were in the show but not the movie like the non-upgraded Wing, Deathscythe, and Heavyarms. These were called "EW ver." after the movie, even though they weren't in the movie, because... reasons? I think it had something do with the retconning of the old designs, but don't quote me on that.
And what does all of this have to do with your question? Well, Katoki wanted to make a redesign of the Wing Zero that looked closer to the show design (no angel wings, etc.). But there already was a kit called the Wing Zero EW (the feathery one), so he couldn't call it that. And he couldn't call it Wing Zero Ver. Ka, because all the other non-movie kits that already got released were called EW ver, and I guess consistency
really
mattered to either him or BanDai. So he called it the Wing Proto Zero, a technically accurate name since the Wing Zero of the movie was upgraded from the show's Wing Zero, which his new design closer resembled.
So that's why it's called Proto Zero, and it's not an old kit at all, it's either a 2013 or 2014 release.
EDIT: super ninja'd
EDIT 2: Do the wing effect parts from the old HG Destiny work on the RG?
