It was always my impression that the S8s would have different seating
arrangements from the S7s, to reflect the areas that they serve.


They do. The S7s will have even fewer seats per car, all arranged
longitudinally (like a 378). That's the way you'll be able to spot a
seven-car S8 train, as may be deployed on other SSLs before the true
S7s come off the production line.


Will S7s have any even slightly distinguishing exterior features from
S8s?


Car numbers?
