Does anyone else think Ridley Scott made a mistake by making the crashed ship on planet LV-426 in Alien different from the ship that crashes at the end of Prometheus on planet LV-223?

I watched Alien and then Prometheus and was like Oh that's the ship they found in Alien. But apparently I'm wrong. Which I find kind of lame because they're just so similar. I still liked both movies but it seems kind of dumb to have a crashed ship in the same shape with the same big alien guy in it sitting at the turret or whatever and it not be the same ship. The article I read said this:

TIME AND SETTING

Most of Prometheus takes place in the last week of the year 2093, between Christmas and New Year's Day (the events on Earth take place in 2089) -- a full 28 years before the events in Alien.

Even though the worlds and the crashed/landed spaceships resemble each other, Prometheus is set on a planetoid with the designation LV-223, while Alien takes place on LV-426 (aka Acheron). According to Ridley Scott, the two planetoids are in the same star system.

THE SHIPS

The two ships in Alien and Prometheus are different. According to Scott, the derelict spaceship seen in Alien was similar to the one shown in Prometheus, but was in fact a "brother," not the same ship. He suggests that the ship originated from LV-223, carrying dangerous cargo and landed on LV-426 more than a millennium before the events in both movies.

This suggests that the xenomorph infestation on LV-426 originated from the facility on LV-223 and that the events shown in the holographic footage in Prometheus may be related to how the (then known as) "space jockey" Engineer died. It is unknown whether the ship on LV-426 carried eggs that hatched and infected the Engineer(s) or if it was carrying the containers with the black substance shown in Prometheus.
