Looks a completely different design. Also looks to be an outside frame bogie.Interesting to read about this issue. Here in the Netherlands, I've not heard about this particular issue being a problem with our CAF Civity fleet, but it seems like exactly this mounting point has been changed between the first series (118 units) and the second series (another 88 units). My best guess is that it might have been spotted as a potential weak place and has been changed.
The upper unit is one of the first series, and the lower unit is a new one from the second batch, from which the first train was delivered about a year ago.
