In 1994, the SAT scales were “recentered” (hence the “R”). The first numbers are your actual scores, the second numbers are the equivalent scores on the new (1994+) test.

The two scales are different and not directly comparable, yet the scaled score range was kept the same, leading to confusion (such as yours) for years to come.
