I can go halfway!
151xxx has a rear element which is as near flat as I can determine.

There must have been some optical changes, as I believe that one can see a
difference in the rear element. As far as I recall, the older lens has an
externally flat rear element, whilst the newer model has a convex element.
Can anyone confirm that?

Whether
improved mechanical reliability can be characterised as improved performance
is a philosophical matter!

Yeah, I've looked around, but seen nothing about what it all means.
Gary's tests showed what could be a slight edge for the earlier version, but
really no meaningful difference within his criteria. And, of course, that's
only one sample of each.
