Sounds like your audio interface switched to 48kHz for the second recording session, and is now back at 44.1kHz, matching the project sample rate. Normally, SONAR would not have let you record with the project rate not matching the interface's clock rate, but it can happen.
You can try deleting the tracks from the project, and re-importing the audio files, but if their headers are mis-identifying them as 44.1kHz files (because that's what SONAR wrote when it saved them), that may not do the trick and you'll need to find a third-party audio app that can re-write the headers to match the actual sample rate (48kHz). Then SONAR will convert them to 44.1kHz on import. The free R8Brain might be able to do it.
