Yup, the extra length is in the front section - the main frame is the same. I’ve ridden loads of both and I can’t tell the difference so I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you.
Upgrades? Brakes, definitely. The old single pivot callipers are pants. The new levers are much nicer. Crankset too, depending on your budget.

Finally bit the bullet and have won a brommy on eBay. It’s a ‘97 so short wheelbase which might not be the best for my height but hey ho. Anyone know where they put the extra length in by the way? Could I simply extend the bit infront of the hinge?
Think it’s going to need some stuff like new pedals, I fancy those clamps that don’t spin around (?), the brakes look a bit shonky…
