There are some minor differences, which could easily be explained away by when the kit was purchased and who owned the tooling at the time and also if the tooling had been modified to more coincide with the look of the tooling of later products in the range or even if it had been totally redone for some reason.
The most obvious difference is up at the cornice ...
... this from the Woodland Scenics Web Site (current owner of DPM) ...

And Jon's version of Carol's Cafe ... where the window lintel trim is also different ...

Those two details make a considerable difference in the overall appearance of the structure as you ncan see when you compare them ...
... Hmmmmmm ...
... Geez! Now that I can see them side-by-side (well, above-and-below each other) ... you are right! They each have four walls, three windows across the front and five along the side ... beyond that ... not really much in common as far as architectural details go!
I don't know ... I'm perplexed! Could it be a U.S. version and a diiferent one for the UK and Europe?
