How can one differentiate between a S1 and a S2?

The easiest to spot differences are as follows:

Externally the S1 has and Elan 1600 badge and round rear lights, while the S2 has an appropriate badge and oval rear lights.

Internally the S2 has a full width dashboard with a glove box lid, while the S1 has a separate glove box without a lid.

The S1 has folded metal tabs on the inside of the window to raise and lower them, while the S2 has a cast moulding.

There was some cross over between the models some some S2s might have S1 features and vice versa.

The car I spotted had round rear lights and a pre suffix registration (??? 700), so my money would be on an S1.
