The ones with the black diaphragm are the newer units. The units in the
pictures above are the original Boeing LRVs. I haven't noticed the
inside of the newer units (I hadn't really even realized they had got
new units until I started perusing all these web sites). The Boeing LRVs
have a turntable like arrangement between the two halves of the unit.
I've never really paid attention to how the outside works (but I used to
always love standing in the turntable as the train twisted its way
along). I'll have to pay more attention the next time I'm riding (which
isn't very often these days).
