Application / Regulation advice License Renewal cost not making sense

Hey, so my PAL expired. I had to complete another paper application because it was expired more than 6 months. I just didnt think I'd ever go hunting again, but then things changed.

I have my restricted and non restricted. However, I don't have any guns. I normally just used my dad's.

I sent in the application and I wanted to do both restricted and non restricted just to keep them both, in case one day it's legal to buy a handgun.

I was charged 93.84, which is the restricted fee. And that's all that I was charged. The non restricted is like 70$, I was expecting to pay like 120$

I figured both should be charged but that's not the case.

I'm concerned that I'm only getting my restricted..

Or does having restricted exceed the non restricted and therefore I only need to pay the bigger fee which covers both licenses??

Thoughts? I've tried calling but can't get through right now.

Restricted covers non restricted... just the one price.
