The fuselage looks to be a little wider on #2.
Miss the winglets, they add a certain "cool-factor".
I've only been in the mock-up fuselage that tours the US, have seen #1 but they didn't let us get close.
I'm sure it will have some sort of inertia separator in the inlet.
Looking from the front the inlets are almost completely covered by the underside of the cockpit section.
This should help prevent ingestion of birds and such as they will bounce of the fuselage.
The nosewheel will probably have the grooves as seen on other jets, runway contamination will be spread outwards, away from the inlets.
Something like this on the Fouga
