You don't need to have the 1-4 scaling factors in the prmtop file *unless*
you want to use different scale factors for different torsions. The main (but
not only) place this comes up is when mixing GLYCAM and protein force fields.
Of course, we do recommend that people update to the current version of
AmberTools, which will put these scale factors in the prmtop file. But old
prmtop files that you created before are probably fine.

Again, in most cases there is no need to change existing prmtop files. The
only time you need atomic numbers is if you have non-standard residues with
strange atom names, such that the programs would make a mistake in guessing
what type of atom you have based on its name.
