so apart from the entrance to the seating compartment and slightly modified
seating, what other technical differences are there?

This is probably bleeding obvious, but there are a number of V set carriages

reversible seating is slightly modified to "separate" the two seaters to
look as if there are two one seaters bound together. You can tell by the
metal "stripes" that run across the body--the "stripes" are less frequent
than the earlier "V" sets. When were these "newer" carriages delivered and
how many of them are there out of all the V sets carriages SRA has?
The cars you are refering to are the DKM/DKT's. I think from memory there
are 40 cars in total. These were the last ones built by Comeng for NSW.
