Is there a model number difference between the old Seasonic S12II PSUs (2007-2010?), and the modern ones (2010 to now, I think)?

This is the old design:

This is the new:

I see a difference in layout, but otherwise many of the smaller details appear identical. Perhaps more knowledgeable people will notice something else:

I just wonder if it's possible to tell them apart based on model number or some other external detail. I think the newer one should have "Bronze" on the box, but not sure.

I guess "Bronze" in the friendly name is the key (S12II-###Bronze), also on the PSU itself. The model number itself seems to stay SS-###GB.
