If you still have a copy of the dicthtml.zip file for the old version, you can copy it to the .kobo/custom-dict directory. When you look in Settings => Language and dictionaries => Dictionary and tap on edit on your Kobo, you should see an English dictionary with file size 12.4MB and and English (Custom) dictionary with a file size of 15.0MB. When you look up a word, you will see the newer dictionary but if you click on dropdown arrow beside English at the top of the popup, you can select English (Custom) for the older dictionary. You can also place the older dictionary in the dict folder but that copy will be overwritten at some point when you connect to Kobo.
I've successfully done this now. The only issue is that when I rename the 2019 version English (Custom) it does not appear. I have to leave it as dicthtml (custom) for it to appear on the drop down list when I long press a word.

I extracted the 2019 dictionary from my Kobo Libra 2, which has not been connected to WiFi for nearly 6 months .
