Another give away on the early boxers is the body line gap in front of the rear wheel. Kind of hard to see in this picture, but I'd guess they have a shorter wheel base.

Actually, the main bodywork difference in that area is the wider rear fenders used to accommodate the 9" wheels used on the rear of the 512 models. There are a zillion little differences in the details of the cars over the production run. Ferraris of that era were nowhere near as standardized as something like a Porsche and now you can find all sorts of Internet threads that try to sort out all of the differences. There's a long-running thread on Ferrarichat.Com that makes for an entire wasted day if you are so inlined..
