All of the provisions of chapter 362, RSMo 1959 and RSMo 1965 Supplement, whether or not repealed and reenacted by sections 361.010 to 362.810 shall, after October 13, 1967, apply equally to banks and trust companies, unless otherwise clearly indicated by words or context. The provisions formerly found in chapter 363, RSMo 1959 and RSMo 1965 Supplement, which are reenacted herein as part of chapter 362, or which are combined with similar provisions in chapter 362, so far as they are the same as those of the prior law, shall be construed as a continuation of such law and not as a new enactment. Where appropriate the words "this chapter" as used in sections 361.010 to 362.810 and as used in the sections of chapter 362 which are not repealed and reenacted by sections 361.010 to 362.810, extend to and include the provisions of chapter 363 prior to its repeal herein.
