Default Small and Big Turbo Escort Cosworths

I have heard that there is a size difference in the whale tale or something with the small turbo, is this true? i have never noticed it. If this is a stupid question sorry to be dumb. Cheers in advance for any help.

There is only one Spoiler listed on Microcat and a plug for the hole but
I've also have noticed spoilers without the hole on ebay (never checked as to whether thbey where original thou), so I have no idea
But as I'll never remove my dinner tray I don't care either

Check if there are any on my website on which it's visible, I don't have any camera, only mobile phone one, but I can get some soon. Yes it looks like factory plug and it's painted the same as the spoiler. I don't see any other way it could be. It would be pointless to make it other way as spoiler needs to be attached in the middle somehow.
