As far as I can see, the two base boards are the same revision, and identical.
The second Guitar module replaced the two dip switches used for boot mode with a push button.

You can see the WiFi/BT module towards the top left side on the bottom of the Base Board.

On the “front” side we have:
- micro SD card connector
- HDMI socket
- micro USB 3.0 socket (should be Type-A Female instead)
- two USB 2.0 Type-A Female sockets

We see the battery power connector here… the second base board left the connector off.

On the rear (GPIO side) we have
- standard DC power jack (5-12V, 2A)
- AV 1/8″ jack
- reset and power switches
- 3 pin debug serial port
- 10/100 Ethernet jack

Moving along… nothing to see on the right hand side.
