This is the typical situation when a project changes from v2 to v3: not all files are updated, so there's a mix in the source code. For the LGPL files: LGPL carries a specific clause that specifies that you can make copies under the GPL (same version) instead of the LGPL. There's actually a requirement that you should update all license texts, but that's exactly what we do here by just installing the GPLv3 license (and we're anyway talking about distribution of binaries).
