If the date of the Will which people have found is recent, or more recent than when your friend told you he put you in his Will, it governs and it does not matter what the earlier Will said.  Since you are a friend, not a spouse, it is unlikely that you can go through his personal possessions or ask the court to order his safety box opened to see whether he mentioned you in a will dated after the date of the will which is being presented for probate.
