There are two differences I can see. One is a piece of what looks like black rubber gasket between the eyes. This I presume acts like it stops the carab slipping.

 

The other is on the right hand part below the pulley they have got rid of a little nick and straightened it up. Sorry no way of pointing with an arrow. Why this has been done I can't guess. Maybe a strength issue they have looked at.

Rich it failed through the upper eye So they have beefed it up Like you would . Also the two eyes are now round instead of trilobel :001_smile:
