Brake comparison M sport $600 versus standard M package brakes

I want to compare m sport brakes ($600 option) versus default M sport brakes (with the M sport package). Here is mine with the regular M sport brakes. Can someone post a close up of the $600 blue brakes. There's a lot of questions around the brakes and the differences. I've heard they are different and also others say they are the same (only the paint is different). Let's solve this once and for all!

There is another tread with pics somewhere M-Sport discs and blue calipers are larger on the front rears may be the same.

It isn’t much maybe 20 or 30mm larger discs and caliper is a little bigger and a different shape, they are 4 pot the standard calipers may be 2 pot floating but not sure.

There are no default M sport brakes with the M sport package. It's standard brakes that come with the vehicle, same as xLine.

This has been covered before many many times now. Here are the brake disc sizes from the tech docs OP (I did not originally post this so the credit goes to the OP of the G05 technical documents)

40i base: floating 348x30 + 345x24
40i w/ 3rd row: fixed 4 piston 348x36 + 345x24
50i base: fixed 4 piston 374x36 + 345x24
any engine + 2NH: fixed 4 piston 395x36 + 370x24
