Yeah as @gbj_tester says they're different hood shapes.
I like the R200 shape because it matches the cane creek tandem stoker levers, which means you can run a real lever one side and a stoker hood on the other on a fixed front-brake-only fixed.

Ah, interesting about the stoker hood match.
@gbj_tester cheers for the explanation up there.
Because I needed a quick fix, I just hit BUY on the 340 last week and didn’t bother comparing the two levers side by side. I was also a bit surprised to see that they are different yet again to the 520s I have on my bike with v-brakes. The 340 is okay, 341 probably would have suited me better but eh whatyergonnado.

is that different to the Tektro RL340 then? (looks the same … and available from Spa Cycles for £17).
