You mean version 3.5 to version 4.0?  The wrap of the decoders have changed 
over time and the new wrap is a clear plastic and is usually marked with the 
decoder type IE 4 for 4.0 and S for Select.  The older 3.5 decoders did not 
have the markings.   I do not have one of each in front of me to tell you the 
other differences.  

 

If you do use a 100ohm speaker on an 4.0 that is not an issue, except the sound 
volume will be very low.  Now using an 8ohm speaker on a 3.5 is not good and 
could blow the output amp.

Jeff,  How would one know that?  Is there a marking on the decoder?
