I have a 1905 house with 2 1/4 X 3/4 flooring in three different sizes. On the patch with new flooring (the Smallest) I ripped 3/4 oak on the table saw about 1/16" to put between the boards the blend in between the old and new. some new boards were put together and a spacer maybe every second or third. If you all ready have installed you can still do this above the tongues. If you don't have a table saw find a friend. I have done stuff like this for others as it only takes about five minutes. I think it would look better that just filler. I have not had good success staining filler putty to match and disappear.
