  Is there a difference between Lego Technic battery boxes - 8881-1 and 59510c01?

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=8881-1&name=Power%20Functions%20Battery%20Box&category=%5BPower%20Functions%5D#T=S&O={%22ss%22:%22UK%22,%22rpp%22:%22200%22,%22iconly%22:0}

The images look like they were photographed from different sides, but appear
to be the same.

Are there any physical differences?

This
 
Set No: 8881  Name: Power Functions Battery Box

8881-1 (Inv) Power Functions Battery Box
1 Part, 2008
Sets: Power Functions
is a set (not an item) consisting of the item
 
Part No: 59510c01  Name: Electric 9V Battery Box 4 x 11 x 7 PF with Orange Switch and Dark Bluish Gray Covers
*

Parts: Electric, Battery Box
Indeed, 8881-1 is like a service pack. See the second photo.

I have compared the photos. To me they appear physically identical; I just wanted
to know if they were in effect the same - whether a "set" (of one item?) or a
component (one item) in a set!

I don't get the whole service pack thing. :/

Same thing with the large brown riggings

  I don't know.

Do you have black ones and brown ones? Can you check to see if this holds true
for at least all the black ones?

Nope. I have none. Dark Ages.

If the sets that use them are using them differently, — that is, if they aren’t
substitutable —, the variant would really be necessary. It wouldn’t be the first
time TLG thought better about making a part “in System,” like
 
Part No: 4081  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Light Attachment (Undetermined Type)
* 
4081 Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Light Attachment (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Plate, Modified
Marked for Deletion

or
 
Part No: 4623  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Arm Up (Undetermined Type)
* 
4623 Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Arm Up (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Plate, Modified

I wanted to look at the building instructions to look for a mathematical necessity
for the change, but there are some 14 sets that use them, so knowing from which
sets they came from would have narrowed the search.


On the other hand, another possibility simply is that some are not LEGO
