TTE Group A vs ST205 Rods

First comparison Note how smooth the side of the TTE rod is compared to the stock rod Looking fairly similar. Note the finish to the TTE rod This side shot shows the marked difference in the sides. Note the oil hole in the stock rod, and its absence in the TTE rod
 
The other side of both rods The cap on the TTE is a weird colour... Close up of the little end Side view, again note the difference
 
Both the TTE and stock rod have an oil feed hole in the top of the rod An aerial view The bolts holding the cap onto the rod. The TTE is different A view clearly showing the weird TTE rod colour
 
     
The locating marks for the bearing shells in the rods appear very similar
