The only difference I could see was that the older hub attaches to the steering knuckle with 4 15mm bolts and the newer one uses recessed Allen head (7mm?) bolts. It's actually a bigger pain because in order to fit the Allen socket you have to back out the axle significantly to get the C/V out of the way. On the older style you could get a box wrench on the bolt heads and just pop the hub off the axle.
Otherwise, they seem to be exactly the same.
