I would move the 670 to the record you're going to keep, but not add any
400 at all, because the primary elements are not any different between the
two. However, if it's clear from usage that the author has "changed" his
name or that a different form of name is now predominant, you could feel
free to change the heading itself.
Looking in OCLC I see:
Usage for James Benjamin: 1 title from 1987
Usage for James J. Benjamin, Jr.: 3 (or possibly 4 depending on how you
count) titles, from 2008-2009
This indicates to me both a change in the author's preference and that the
later form is also predominant, so I think you could apply 22.2A1 and
revised the heading itself to:
Benjamin, James J., $d 1965-
