On the subject of upgrading cameras,say to a later, or different
version,which is said to provide better photo quality. It occurs to me
that post processing images from the ealier model might have the effect
of 'levelling up' the difference, so that this can catch up with the
'improvement'.

I would be interested to hear the thoughts of other members.

But, those post-processing tools could also "advance/improve" the output of
the latest cameras. One would assume that a later camera would still
outperform an earlier model if the later camera truly had better features.

Just looking at three issues: (1) resolution ... upsampling is not a
substitute for better sensor resolution. (2) noise ... noise reduction
software is not a substitute for a lower-noise sensor. (3) dynamic range
.... two or more shots can be combined to improve dynamic range, but it
requires a tripod.

My basic answer to your question is "no."
