Why not post the pictures next to each other. Or, if already done, provide link. There's too many pages to hunt.
Note: my latest unit shown here may not be the actual final production model, I do not have that information---so don't jump to any conclusions about what you might get these days if you buy one!

There is a difference in the input side of the latest 100amper I got from the earlier model. Photo quality is not the best! Anyway, they moved the thermistor from RT1 and replaced that with just a wire across there, and put the thermistor in place of one of the two coils in the earlier version. The blob thing under there past old RT1 has changed from a blue blob to an orange blob. (that's tech talk at my level)
Old (there are two of those white boxes by the coil same as shown on the new--one white box is hidden by the wires there)
New (bigger fatter thermistor)
More of the new ( old similar) The black wire across to the left is the fan motor wire. The grey wire to the top of the vertical board is to the variable voltage pot there from the lid of the unit where the turning knob is on the outside of the lid
The Hi pot number showing on the new as 1225 is 1127 on the old with the rest of that writing the same.
