Question on mantra in praise of Mitra

Dear all,

(1) In the Rig Veda, we have a mantra (3.59.1)

mitro janAn yAtayati bruvANo mitro dAdhAra pRthivImuta dyAm
mitraH kRSTIranimiSAbhi caSTe mitrAya havyaMghRtavajjuhota
pra sa mitra marto astu prayasvAn yasta Aditya shikSati vratena
na hanyate na jIyate tvoto nainamaMho ashnotyantito na dUrAt

Whereas in the printed texts for prAatah sandhyAvandanam the mantra that we use for chanting, I think, from Krishna Yajurveda. KYV (3.4.11.5)

(2) mitro janAn yAtayati prajanan mitro dAdhAra pRthivImuta dyAm
mitraH kRSTIranimiSAbhi caSTe satyAya havyaM ghrtavad vidhema.
pra sa mitra marto astu prayasvAn yasta Aditya shikSati vratena
na hanyate na jIyate tvoto nainamaMho ashnotyantito na dUrAt

My question is, do the Rig Shakhadhyayis, chant the mantra (1) or (2) in their prAtah Sandhya?
