write a letter explaining this and send the wrong one. As it is explained in the guide, they can and will ask for a police certificate a later time, as usually a significant amount of time has passed between the issue of the certificate and the date were the officer is looking at it (this happens later in the process). They encourage to submit your certificate but it is not a strong requirement at an early stage.
As someone told me in this forums, be ready to being asked for your police certificate. You usually have less than 60 days to submit new ones. So start talking with your embassy now and find the best action plan/s to follow once they ask you for them.
The other thing you can do is, that once you receive the acknowledge of the reception of your papers, they will send you some info and your file number, then you can start thinking about submitting the police certificates (you will be asked anyways), if you get them before someone asks for it, you will have a file number were to send them.
