501B vs 580 - What's the Difference?

Not wanting to hijack a previous thread, I thought I'd start another.

What exactly is the difference between 501B vs 580 endlinks? Some claim they are interchangeable, and others say they are not.

Could someone with both post side by side pics for comparison?

Thanks

Thanks, but that doesn't answer my question-

Maybe I'm not being clear, so let me try again:

On a 93150 bracelet I know 580's are the default for 5512/5513, but 501B's also seem to work, so what I want to know is not which is proper, BUT-

What Is The Difference Between Them?

Is it size, shape, gap - What?

And can someone post a picture of them side by side to visualize the difference?
