You have to contact Sigma about the first lens.
They will need a complete description of the lens, including the serial number.
They may have to "re-chip" the lens (meaning install a new circuit board inside the lens"
Only they know if it will work with Canon DSLR cameras.

I am not familiar with Asperical 28-200 mm IF
If it is a Canon EOS lens, it will work with any of the Canon DSLR cameras.
If it is made by another company you have to contact that company.

Even if both lenses fit a Canon digital SLR (and they should because your old camera is an EOS), aside from Canon's 5D and 1D series DSLR's, everything else are so-called crop sensor cameras. Meaning the 70-300mm will have a field of view equivalent to 112-510mm, and the 28-200 will have a FOV equivalent to a 45-320mm.
