That's interesting. I actually love the idea of CHA having a biggER impact on charm, mez, and "resisted lull hate".
If that was the original intent (i.e. it was a bug in classic), then I'm all for it. Hard to prove either way though.
I would think that MR would still be at least as important as CHA. And level difference still greater than either.
My 2 cents.

There are a lot of numbers and parses over at eqrunes that prove exactly what I'm saying. It's very interesting reading.
There are a lot of factors concerning classic EQ that people are not understanding. MMOs are games that evolve with trends. The prevailing wisdom at the time when classic was new and fresh was not high CHA for an enchanter. Sure they maybe put some points in there, but people didn't necessarily stack an attribute like CHA back in the day. INT caster which enchanters fell into stacked INT. Not CHA.
It was all about mana. Not charisma. As the game evolved and people started testing different aspects of each class it became known that charm was in fact "broken". That CHA was not affecting it like it should be. Just like CHA wasn't necessarily having the proper effect on mez. Only later was it addressed by development and fixed. It wasn't a priority at all during the classic era. There were so many bugs/content updates/quest fixes that something like enchanter charm was definitely NOT a priority. Enchanters at that time were pure crowd control/buffbot. Nothing more.
MR does also play a vital role in charm
