How can you tell the difference?

Thanks.
 
Probably the easiest ways to identify the phase 2 are car #26705 & up. Frame curved down under the rear axle. Radius arms on the rear axle. Locking doors.

i also beleive that you can tell the difference from the ride height in the back. The Phase 2 cars had a higher ride height in the back. It looks as those it was jacked up. This gave some more ground clearance to the muffler system
