The way the trim curves round the camera ready signal window: round on the

old model, more angular on the later model.
The tripod quick shoe and lower magazine hooks: two quite separate things
on 
the old model, one metal part, running as a fork from underneath the
tripod 
shoe to the hooks on the late model.
The molding/surface of the rear baffles: hard to describe though.

Not all changes will have been made at the same time.
The cable hook hole on the camera's left side, for instance, disappeared 
before other changes were made.
