I’ve heard that an earlier version of the episode had Apple Bloom age up the CMC with a potion, which Cozy Glow would have possibly drank too, but I guess this was scrapped because of Magic Duel:

Trixie: [upset] But… how did you do those spells? Nopony can do those spells!
Twilight Sparkle: You’re right. Not even me. Zecora taught me so much about magic while I was in exile. She even taught me when not to use it. My magic alone wasn’t powerful enough to take on the Alicorn Amulet head to head, so I needed to use a different kind of magic – the magic of friendship. I also knew that the only pony who could get the amulet off your neck was you.
Trixie: But… what about the pony with the ten instruments?
Twilight Sparkle: That’s not magic. That was just Pinkie Pie.

(Which actually contradicts a line from earlier in the same episode:)

An age spell? But… how could you do an age spell? That’s only for the highest level unicorns!

So only the flower and the Alicorn Amulet can do such a spell. Hence the need to rewrite.

tl;dr, Spur was likely a leftover from an early version of the episode that was made well in advance, used as a placeholder, and palette swapped last Summer Solstice to make it less obvious. At least that’s my hypothesis.
