Newest contract will take precedent over older ones. What does the latest one say about sick pay?

Have you asked to see what records HR holds on file for you? After many TUPE's is it possible that you've overlooked changes. 

They're saying the company itself was sold in which case there would be no TUPE.... they worked for ABC Ltd initially, they sill work for ABC Ltd post sale. 

TUPE applies where you were working for ABC Ltd but you're moved over to XYZ Ltd

Even if you had been TUPE'ed across it isn't very hard for an employer to still change your terms, the main protection TUPE gives is your continuous service counts from when you joined your original employer and isn't reset by the change of employer. When a whole company is sold there is no need for TUPE protection because your continuous service is naturally unimpacted by the change in shareholder. 

You ultimately need to agree to a change in contract or have it forced on you. From what you say above you've agreed to new contracts so really you'd need to go back and check what they say about sick pay, undoubtedly you've signed a change without reading it.
