An example that included input and output would help.  I'll take a guess but if
that's not it please clarify and provide that.

Also its helpful if you can provide the data in easily copied form
using dput(z).

I will assume that time(New) is a superset of time(Old) and "put them in" means
replace the values in Old with those from New so that Old should be the same
shape and have the same times before and after.

> Old

1  1  6
2 12 15
3 13 16
4  4  9
5  5 10
