So to summarize:

1. Negate and X abilities can do the X to CBN cards
2. Play As are not errata but fixing of bad wording, and should be consistent of all cards with that wording.
3. Joseph before Pharoah and DoN have the same bad original wording as Babylonian Siege Army
4. JBP has the Play As: Negate and X
5. Siege Army should also have this Play As
6. Siege Army should be able to do the X to CBN cards

Siege Army was made after wording was standardized so the default assumption is that the current wording is intentional. It doesn't require play-as just because cards with similar wording in the past were changed.

Just because a card is newer does not mean the same mistakes can’t be made.  (Or in the case of BSA I just assume there wasn’t room).  Nothing is ‘required’ but I certainly find consistent wording interpretations better for the game as it is a lot less confusing.
