Plarail S-06 E3 Tsubasa vs Hypercity 85105 CT1000 City Train

What differences are there between these two apart from the colour of the wheels and the fact that the Plarail one has a coupling hidden in its nose?

I have had several pass through my hands but never noticed a difference. Of course I wasn't looking for any. Except what you mentioned, the yellow wheels and the retractable coupling, I didn't notice anything different but I didn't study them.

The JR East Co. Tsubasa Logo stick on the car is missing the hyper city version.

So I wonder, what does it mean if I've got one with grey wheels AND the JR East Co. Tsubasa logo on it?

Hmmm...maybe someone swapped out the shells? I do like the one you pictured Chrisjo.
