Question rises from examples like :

and

The first link is an example showing trasaction from multiple senders and at most two receivers ( refering from Ch 9 in orginal bitcoin paper).
Suppose we have a transaction as A and B and C send total amount of 5 bitcoins to D and E. From the transaction, we can tell how many
bitcoins sent by A or B or C and how many received by D or E. But how can we tell how many bitcoins sent from A to D?


The second link is an example of transaction from single sender to multiple receivers(more than 2) which is not shown in origianl paper.
Is this introduced by newer version in bitcoin?

Thx!
