kentech posted the parts page of the manual. The upper deck does seem to sit 1mm higher. I guess they really did copy Jilles's setup.
Yes it seems they have. The top deck is 1mm higher and the bulkhead clamps are 0.5 higher at the camber links. The motor is higher so the chassis is less recessed - bad news if you want to convert the old car I think. This car is going to generate some grip!

edit: actually simple solution if you have the old car and want to use the new bottom deck - just space all your bulkheads up by 0.5mm
