Look at the first two pictures: from the back the 599 GTB reminds me a bit of the 456 GT.
Now compare the two pictures in the second row: the blue car has a different rear bumper which we never saw before on the first pictures. Why? Perhaps it's the GTS version?
But as i said it before: Great car!
Well, I guess the blue car has a pre-production rear bumper. Remember the very first spy pic of the F430? The red car, obviously taken in the factory? This car was a F430, but had a different front bumper with totally different air inlets. 
I think you're right, but it's not just the rear bumper that's a pre-production part, the front is also different on the blue car (compared to the official photos of the red car) as I mentioned in a previous post:
- At the front, the crease running down vertically from the headlights (at the outer edge of the grille) has been smoothed out and it looks like a lower lip (spoiler) was added below the grille. This must be a result of aero testing. My sketch showed the old shape as was seen on some of the prototypes.
- The headlights (see cut-out in fender below 612 cover) had a very different shape. Very similar to what I had showed on my sketch.
- At the rear, the "bumper" protrudes less and has a sharper crease, and the license plate recess is now tapered in the opposite direction, to match the trunk lid opening.
As a final observation, the picture of the blue car's hood (carbon?) and fender, from above, really shows off the beautiful shape of the very Rossa-like fender - just gorgeous!
