Original data is something you have never transmitted to the IRS before.

A late original is not a correction. If you never transmitted certain data to the IRS, then put together a file with just the records that have never been transmitted and upload as originals. If the file is past the due date, it's considered a late original and may be subject to a penalty. Even if its late, transmit the data to the IRS.
