Yes, from the stories i hear, Bumblebee starts out as the second gen, and get's trashed pretty bad, then get's a rebuild, and voila! We have a 5th gen Bumblebee.

i think it just appears that way because the H part is lighter silver. look at the old symbol, you can barely even notice it has an H in it.

Dude, I highlighted that myself so it would be easier to notice. That pic was taken from the movie website. It's a desktop pic that I cropped and highlighted. Other than that, it's not altered.
