Skip Christie would know, but he passed away years ago, preceding Chris. I'll have to check my notes, but as I recall Chris also had a Blackhawk/Vaquero package and/or al la carte options, and similarly for the SP101.
It looks like the only thing Chris didn't do on yours was to dish in the side of the triggerguard at the front and serrate the front face. Skip and I discussed it regarding mine, and we decided that the juice probably didn't warrant the squeeze, so I passed on it as well.
I feel privileged to have known him and benefitted from his expertise. Both he and Skip were truly a pleasure to work with.
I hope you enjoy both of your examples.
Best, Jon
