I am using Kali Linux on vmware workstation. I had a older version so I updated it using apt (command line) after updating it my lock screen wallpaper/background changed automatically.
To verify if such thing is not caused by my mistake. I again created another blank vm with exact configuration & after update wallpaper changed again.
Earlier it was (older & desired):
Newer one is different from older (I cannot embed another image as I am new to forums)
how can I get back my older lockscreen/login screen background/wallpaper?
Few options there (see top reply):

Option 1 - Terminal
Under /usr/share/desktop-base/kali-theme/login/ is a symbolic link named background. Update it with your desired image path.
Sample Command:
sudo ln -s <image_path> /usr/share/desktop-base/kali-theme/login/background
Option 2 - GUI
- Click Menu > Settings > LightDM GTK+ Greeter settings
- Authenticate if necessary
- In the Appearance tab of the window, select an image/color under Background
- Click Save
Reboot to take effect.
