So NASA is expecting to recieve the first ever Stereo 3D images of the sun today, April 23 2007.
My question is have they already received those pictures and posted them here http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/stereo/news/stereo3D_press.html
or are those old pictures?

They were received before 9 a.m. Eastern Time. That is when I saw them on TV (and when I first heard about them). Remember, they were taken using multiple instruments. I don't know the separation distance, but it would have to be significant. Right now you are seeing the Sun in stereo with cameras (eyes) separated by 3" or so. Hardly helpful to the questions NASA hopes to answer.
The new images are posted at that site. To see the effect in the images, you will need red and cyan paper glasses as in the old movies from the 1950s. Sources for them are given.
