In Pakistan there is no problem with the number bit.
In Germany on the Frankfurt airport they will ask why there numbers are not the same.
But when you have your old passport or a copy with you there is no problem anymore.

I think you can (but would be worth checking!) since there is no qualification of:
- Seven years card validity (except foreign spouse)
at High Commission for Pakistan London. (The foreign spouse exclusion merely is to limit the validity to five years.)
Timatic is not very helpful with:
Visa required, except for Passengers with a Pakistan origin card (POC) or a national ID card for overseas Pakistanis
since there is no mention of the numbers having to match (though lack of that is a good sign, in a way).
