Beautiful car with incredible history. Love the look, it's just right. Wonder if the current owner has done some improvements. There are numerous differences, the steering wheel was mentioned, looks to me like the rear fenders have been rebuilt and improved. The originals had little to no crown in them and the current versions do have a nice amount along with a more gradual taper to the bottom and a smaller radius turn into the bottom edge of the body. Maybe it's like doing two stage paint in the rebuild instead of lacquer? Nothing escapes the sharp eyes of the HAMB....
The rear fenders were the first things I would have changed. I think the newer versions fit the car much better.
