A320/A321 engines

Can anyone enlighten me as to the differences between the V2527 engine on the A320 and the V2533 engine on the A321? The FCOM is not very helpful as it just refers to both as V2500.

From what I can find so far, it seems the fan diameter is the same, although the bypass ratio and flat rating temp are lower on the V2533. I know the V2533 has a higher thrust rating, but are they physically the same engine made up of the same components and the different thrust rating comes from FADEC/software?
