And I thought the 600-900 series 737NGs were the same wing with a different SLF tubular container hung in between the flappy bits?

Thanks for the info folks, and that after 9 years driving the beasts viz 700s + 800s.
Thankfully I didn't have to wrestle with the peculiarities of the -900, with all its MAC% versus T/O thrust problems?
It's still a good craft, especially the -800 with 26k engines, it does what it says on the tin...............

Bark, I would agree, the 800 hit the sweet spot...the combo with 26K was about the best. 
The Boeing winglet design has especially transitioned models over time...the leading edge is the clue. It used to simply rollup, but then the issues led to the leading edge of the winglet, being set back further from the leading edge of the wing section.
Actually, the Airbus winglet has addressed the discontinuty from the beginning...
