All of the first 100 cameras were replaced by "X" bodies that match every other RED ONE body that has shipped. So, as it stands, there is no difference between a <100 body and a >100 body.

yeah, the later cameras have some small detail improvements over the early ones. Iirc, its not the focus _hook_ but the focus _marc_ which is missing in the lower 100s.

That is correct, there are small changes that have taken place. Newer bodies have witness marks [albeit too small to be of any use], smaller PL mount collar ears [small enough to be turned around], etc. But the core innards of the camera - at least as far as the final image is concerned - are the same.
